Default Aluminum big block heads.#3946074

I have a set of big block aluminum heads I am getting ready to sell.. Part number 3946074.They are a complete set with valves, springs, retainers, etc. I see these at asking prices from $6500 to $1500. How do I know where to price them, and what determines the difference. All threaded holes appear to be undamaged. Any advice is greatly appreciated. I also have a 512 4 bolt main block. Guess the two together would make a nice set up for someone. Jerry

Surprised at lack of interest. These are original GM 427 heads that would have been used on L88 or 435 hp engines. Is there a better place I should post these for sale. Price now at $2,250. thanks. Jerry

Actually, on big block aluminum heads the date is on the underside of the head and is not even visible when the heads are installed.

Does 5 4 something like a 1 and then 0 make any sense? Jerry
