68 Shelby 302 4v heads identify

If they are 4v heads from a 68 302 they have to be a J code as that is what a 68 4v head is. They also can be for a 4 speed car (with thermactor ports) or auto (no ports) I'm not looking for any but depending on which head they are, the dates on them and price I might be interested

dates?

 

OK, your not getting this. There is a month/year/day cast into the heads in the format of 7M8 or 8C21 or similar. That is what I am looking for.

 

Thanks for the update. Being dated that late for a 68 they would not be as valuable as earlier ones as you limit them to only July build cars if someone was date conscious. Having said that they are still correct for any 68 j code automatic. Thermactor heads are worth more than non thermactor just because they are harder to find. The valves/springs missing doesn't concern me as I would replace all that stuff anyway. I would think you could get 3-400 for the pair

 

All good advice, but the estimate of their value might be a wee bit high. Because if I needed 302 heads and wasn't date concious, there are a lot of other choices. The heads are pretty common and were used on a lot of cars other than Shelbys. As mentioned above the thermactor heads are way more desirable.
