Reply to "A3 heads"

Panhe,

What the heads are worth to you depends upon the motor you want to run them on, the displacement, the power band, the intended use of the car, etc.

Although they are good heads, they are not the best head for every application. And, acquiring an intake manifold for those heads can be an expensive pain in the rear.

A comment about the pricing of the motorsport heads, I observed a set of C302 heads sell on e-bay last fall for just over $1000, and another set just recently failed to sell as bidding stalled just above $1000 (or was it $1200?) and never met the reserve price. An engine building friend on the east coast offered to sell me a set of A3s last summer, fresh valve job, new springs, ready to bolt on, for $1200.

Your friend on the DTBB, George
