Re: Value of CHAMPION 8 BA heads If they are not cracked and condition is good they are worth $500 probably. Maybe higher to the right guy.

Re: Value of CHAMPION 8 BA heads I don't think that they made many of that style, pretty rare, never seen a set.

Re: Value of CHAMPION 8 BA heads Rare vintage speed equipment commands some obscene money these days. You can't buy a set of good used Offenhauser or Edelbrock heads for $500, much less something like these. I used to be able to pick up a decent piece for a reasonable price once in a while. I haven't found a thing the last couple of years or so.

Re: Value of CHAMPION 8 BA heads i have a nos set of champion heads on my merc i bought 15 years ago paid 600 for them on ebay they are worth a lot more than that know they tell me

Re: Value of CHAMPION 8 BA heads You have a rare set of heads that most guys would give their eye teeth for either to use or hang on their wall for bragging rights. I would start your price about 20% above the highest price you can find and go fishing ...... if the highest price you see is from several years ago, go 30-40% higher ..... they aren’t making any more of them, that’s for sure!
Just my 2 cents ... |

Re: Value of CHAMPION 8 BA heads This has reminded me I have a new set of these heads which have never been installed. I thought about using them a few times but never found the right set of conditions. My memory is the valve lift must be conservative for these to fit without modification. Truth be told however, my memory of the limited time I spent looking at the heads might not be perfect.

It's a little nicer approach than saying something like..."Hey dumb-ass...."! DD |
Re: Value of CHAMPION 8 BA heads Itīs sometimes very hard to set a price...besides actual condition itīs all about opportunity...if they guy with a sweet teenage memory of them and now a loaded wallet shows up...sky is the limit.
My bad consience (wife) keeps my budget within reason ! |
Re: Value of CHAMPION 8 BA heads I must say to me the CHAMPION HEADS were homely and heavy and I was happy
to get rid of them....the guy who bought them stepped up and paid my price....but I respect the to each his own concept. Since the heads were originally on an OSWEGO SPEEDWAY ( Oswego NY ) circle track motor, 1955 & 56, I know they were milled at least once (witness small dia chambers). I certainly thank all here who helped me selling these heads....esp Vanspeed and Flatjack Meyer....the Barn is indispensible. Charlie ny |

Bargains are still out there but you have to look. My Navy retirement and Social Security leave me a lot more time than money so I search the internet to find the parts I want at a price I can afford. It took several months but was able to get all of the upgrades I was looking for ( Offy heads/intake, flat top Mallory dual point, Holley 390, an alternator plus all of the hardware and gaskets) for just slightly over $1,100. The only part that couldn't be used as is was the carburetor, it required a new accelerator pump diaphragm. |
Re: Value of CHAMPION 8 BA heads Remember, I said rare. No offense, but all of the parts you mentioned are pretty run of the mill, and it looks like you paid just about retail for them. I am talking about flathead Cadillac stuff, a finned head for a 356 Packard, that sort of thing. You are right though, and I do keep my eyes open. I scored a flattop Mallory (complete with Voltmaster coil) for an early hemi for a good price just this week. The guy who had it thought it was for a later "B" motor (which are pretty common).
