Hello all. I know this is relative, depending on the person buying and how much they want to spend...but. I have the original heads, pushrods, rocker arms (Pushrods and rockers are numbered and labeled from their respective homes in the heads), and the original intake off a 75 L-48. I've bought aftermarket performance parts to replace these and I want to get rid of them and recoup some cost. Anyone know what these items are worth? Or where I can find that information?

Used stock heads and valvetrain parts are of very little resale value. Nobody is looking to buy used, stock parts to restore an engine. They may be worth a few bucks to someone trying to build a budget truck motor or the likes, but nobody will be beating down your door to buy them. Most of us have stock heads and intakes sitting in forgotten corners of our garages.

If I were in the market, Id offer 150 bucks for a set of used heads, 40 bucks for the intake and 40 for the rockers.

Hope this helps.

Thank you! Is there anything I can do with them? Is it even worth my time to list them?

Scrap is about 5 cents a lb these days. Try craigslist. Them that don't know better might pay 100 or so for CORVETTE heads...

If I were you, I'd list them in the forum parts for sale section and list them on Craigslist at a realistic price. That won't cost you anything.
