    They're worth enough that guys will pick up E heads and carefully grind off the bottom leg to make Fs. Ds are worth even more (I think the last set of those on eBay went up to $1500). They were the factory heads on the W-30 455s that were in early 70s 442s.

    So what do you think a set of "rare" Ka heads will sell for

    Nope, car guys don't want those. Just Ds and Fs. Sorry.

    I'm surprised the K/Ka heads aren't worth as much as the C heads. They have big valves, hardened seats, no emissions bumps to remove, and they actually flow as good as the C heads. There are probably not as many available, or they have been thrashed due to being in a marine environment. And GM sold them as direct replacements for the W30 heads.

    But the KA heads weren't factory on the W-30s. And factory hardened seats don't last past the first valve grind anyway.
    Only reason the Cs got popular was because Modello 'claimed' they were the best flowing head.
    Another myth is the AIR bumps in the exhaust ports. Flow bench testing has proven it actually hurts them to be ground off. :jawdrop:
