Mopar "516" Closed Chamber Cylinder Heads: How much are they worth?

Unfortunately they are not worth much. Most combos where the 516 is legal also allow the 915 which is a better head all around, thus leaving the 516 with little to no market. Even the 906's have depreciated with the availability of cheap aluminum heads on the market today.

If you get $50. for the 516's consider it a good day. Keep in mind the more machine work the heads need the less they are worth.

With liners, mill, and seats cut they may be worth $80-$120. If you have to pay a machinist to do the work you'll never get your money out of them.

Sorry for the bad news.
