i got over priced at the time, i wasnt really thinking until i realized these werent drop on like the seller said. because i had worn valve seals and needed to upgrade the springs. $450 wasted then i added another $200 i shoulda just brought some aluminum heads. then when i was selling them people thought i was selling them over priced $450, that was with new valve seals new exhaust valves and new springs and milled down cleaned 0miles on them.
i paid $180 for a set, spent $100 on alexs spring kit good for .600 lift, 3 angle valve job, seals, locks, retainers, decked, hot tanked. total cost was around 450-500 after all said and done. cant complain about the power either, shit kicks the rear end out in 3rd gear ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

I paid $400 w/1.7 rollers for the set i used on my son's car. I actually looked for quite a while before i found the low mile set i was looking for. I was only interested in a set sold by Ford Motorsports in the nineties. The catalog Gt40's had stock castings but included undercut stainless valves,moly retainers( no valve rotators),machined keepers, and excellent springs. They are a great head for a budget build 302.
