I found a set of 781's that need a valve job. He said they would clean up with a valve job and won't need new valves. The guy wants $250 for them. What are they worth?

I have a set of 627292 you can have for $75 if you come get them. They are the large oval ports. just need to be cleaned up- a valve job would probably be a good idea. I can also get you new parts(valves,springs,etc) for good prices. Throw in a 454 steel crank for another $25-it has 2 small cracks on one journal where it meets the counterweight.

Thanks for the offer, I will consider it. I'll do some research on those heads before I decide.
