Default 69 L88 heads what are they worth??

I have come across a set of 69 L88 Aluminum Heads. Casting number 3919842. These were purchased from a GM dealer 8 years ago and have NEVER been machined. All the necessary Valves and hardware also available. These heads have the snowflake with the W in the casting.


What are they worth?

Thanks in advance.

Jeff

Additional info: When the heads were purchased the correct springs, retainers, valves and seals were purchased also. He is checking to see if he bought the rocker arms...I will know tomorrow.

Those show as L-89 heads; '69 L-88's used 3946074 per the NCRS Spec Guide (don't have the '69 JG, which may have more detail).

They are worth someone is willing to pay for them. How much you want for them?

The person painting my 69 has them. I will check tomorrow to see if he has come up with a price. He also thinks he has a tri-power intake ... I will know more in the morning.

It gets more interesting as I dig into it. The owner of these parts says he has the tri power carbs also.

Over the next few days I will be getting the casting numbers and date codes from all of the components, heads, intake, carbs etc. Who knows what else he has hidden?? I will also get digital pics.
