Default Snowflake Heads

My son has a set of Winters Foundry aluminum snowflake heads, the last 3 numbers in ther casting are 077, can't recall the first few numbers. We were wondering about the value they may have, he has them on a 468 that has been drag raced for years an he is now going to turbo charge the motor an wants to use heads with bigger ports, besides the possibility of hurting these old ones. They have 2.25 intake valves an 1.88 exhaust with enuff spring for .750 lift, they are in great shape except for some cosmetic marks on the front an rear of castings. Anyone know what he should ask for em , a couple of locals have asked about them but want them for near nuthing, or should he scrap out the aluminum,haha.

I'm not a BBC expert by any means. If the full number is 14011077, then these are relatively late model 89-94 heads. 2.19/1.88, 118cc Replacement Aluminum Rectangular port, 295cc intake. Scuttlebut seems to be that they're prone to cracking.

I've seen freshened sets go for around $1000 or so, if that helps.

Thanks, I'll have him check the numbers on it again. Maybe his local friends do know more than he does. Thanks again.
