Found a set of used rebuilt low milage heads. What are they worth?

Well, I have seen just recently junkyard used go for $700, and then I have seen rebuilt go for $1300-$1500
I guess it depends on the market area you are in.

you can buy brand new knockoff castings for under $800 a pair from that outfit in Alabama.

But aren;t they bare castings?
You talking about Alabama Cylinder head exchange? My buddy went to work for them, moved from Houston to Alabama. needed a job and they put him to work TIG welding cracked aluminum heads. And I seen him weld here in my shop, with a MIG, and you had better have a lot of grinding discs ready when he was finished.
he told me they put him on the welding after just a half day training thing:-)

I've got my 6.2 going in the shop on thurs. I'm pretty sure now that I've got a burned intake valve. Will know more later. I'll get back to you if I figure I need new heads.
