Default cylinder head and intake manifold questions

these heads and what i believe to be an intake manifold have been sitting in my moms garage. now im wondering what i should do with them. i want to sell them and would have posted them in the classified section if i knew what model they were off of. so who knows what years these heads/intake mani go to? what about a rough price? if someone answers these questions ill give this forum first dibs before i put them on ebay.





any help is greatly appreciated!

the c8 means 1968 casting, they arent worth too much considering there are so many aftermarket options available. you could post them as stock 1968 FE heads and intake you might get 100 bucks or so, there are casting i.d. numbers besides those where you can identify exactly what they were made for. does the intake have a two barrel or four barrel boss on the top?

That's not an FE intake. The top valve cover rail was part of the intake on an FE. That one doesn't have it. Could be a Cleveland, M series, or 385 series intake.

Sandblast and coat with WD40 or other light oil.
