The auction includes a matching intake.

Price is highly dependent upon condition. Many of those heads have been
excessively milled which reduces their value dramatically. If the heads
are as advertised (unaltered, complete and ready to bolt on), they are
worth a premium. For a similar CHI 3V intake and head package, you'd be
looking at around $2500. When I was putting together my 407 cube Fontana
motor, I flow tested both my C302B's and A3's. Using that data plus some
I had for the CHI 3V's, I ran some comparitive simulations using Dynomation.
The C302B's and A3's both outperformed the CHI 3V's. The C302B's were best
but had a fair bit of porting. The A3's were only bowl blended and cleaned
up with a cartridge roll in the ports.
