Re: Opinions needed.

3 - 500 for the heads, would depend on how much use they have on them since the rebuild, but keep in mind that you can get a new set of Vortec heads that will outflow those older heads for 5 - 600 too, depending on the dealership IF (and its a big IF) the headers fit your truck, maybe $50 - even less if they're rusty unless they are a set of Doug Thorley headers or something like that. Used headers are not a good buy unless they are the ceramic or stainless, or if they still look brand new -- new Hedmans in the black finish are $150. They fit great and look acceptable for a while until the paint burns off. A Victor intake might be worth $75 - $100, but is not a great intake for a truck with the stock compression ratio and torque converter. The single plane intakes like huge amounts of cam lift and big, thirsty carburators. A much better intake for a heavy vehicle that needs a lot of torque to move it around is the Performer RPM or RPM Air Gap manifold. But if you got it cheap, its still a nice intake to have around
