Re: camel hump heads
buy them, and put them on e-bay, some one who thinks they are still good heads will pay stupid money for them, and you can roll that money over into a set of heads worth useing.

Re: camel hump heads
The only double humps with accessory bolt holes are the 186 castings and 292 castings. Either will bring $6-700 on ebay on any given day, which will net you a great set of modern heads. The 186 heads are being bought by the '69 Z-28 guys, and readily pay that for junk heads.

Re: camel hump heads
Yeah, I'd cough twice and pass. Nice for restoration, and they aren't a bad head...but not what I'd start a build with considering the price and capabilities of modern heads!

Re: camel hump heads
There was a day when they were the good heads but not anymore. Like stated earlier, only the resto guys want them now. Vortec heads are the hot ticket now.

Re: camel hump heads
There are several rebuilders online and in the back of the car magazines that will build a decent set of GEN I heads for about that price.
