If they are aluminum that makes a huge difference. Chevy started producing aluminum heads for fuellie 283 'vettes for 1960 but halted production due to head porosity or something. To a museum the aluminum versions are very rare and would be worth something, but to a rodder not so much.

Chevy sold over the counter fuellie iron heads with small valves for decades, so they are neither rare nor are they the ultimate in terms of performance. They'd be cool and offer a performance gain on a typical 283 or 307. They would be restrictive on a 327 or larger engine compared to 1964+ versions.

Sorry, I didn't answer your question did I? I'll let those that buy / sell & trade them answer this one for you.


Are you looking to buy or to sell?

Dec 59 and Jan 60 are the dates, I dont have the numbers right now but when I checked them a while back they listed as high perf 283. The man that gave them to me 15 years ago is the person that pulled them off the vette in 1960. To me they are worthless but someone with a 1960 vette may think different

If they are 1960 heads, all Corvettes used 3774692 casting. Also used in 1961.
Not particularly rare. Small valves, nothing special heads.
Probably not worth much unless you find a restorer needing those casting dates.
I see fleabay auctions asking high prices.... fishing expeditions.
Put them on fleabay and see what you can get.
