76 cc open chamber smog heads, thin lightweigth castings. Probably the worst head of them all.

Well, if he's a sucker tell him GM still sells those under their GMPP service as the cast iron performance head (screw in studs, 2,02x1,94 valves) and maybe you can make some nice money out of them. Otherwise.. hmm maybe 100$ if in good shape ?

Both L48 and L82 used the same castings and chamber size. Different valve sizes, though...

If you have a set that isn't cracked frame them.
They have to be about the rarest Corvette part on the planet
