DOVE Heads
Depends on where you're located. Rural Southern and Midwestern areas
still have them, $100-150. The EPA has forced many boneyards on the East and West Coasts to close and in metropolitan areas $200-250 is a deal if you can find them. I recently sold a complete set, with valves, springs, rockers, fulcrums and nuts for $350 and was offered $450 the next day. I see theem go for $250 and more bare on ebay.

C9 heads are standard 1969 production, small chambered with rail rockers and for all purposes identical to DOVE heads. What they're worth depends on your geographical location.
CJ/SCJ heads are DOOE-R casting number only, with larger valves and much larger ports. They usually start at $7-800/set bare no matter where you're located.

So there's no difference in the '68,'69, and '70 heads then?
1978 F-150 flareside. Primitive by todays standards but she was a jaw dropper back then. :-staun

I don't believe there are any major differences in 68,69 or 70 std. passenger car heads. I have 2 sets (one set on my current 466)(soon to be 3) of D0VE-C heads and I am in the process of buying a set of D0OE-R SCJ heads(bare). 1st set of D0VE's I picked up for $100, 2nd set was traded even for a set of D3VE's and 3rd set are on a 429(complete minus intake) I'm picking up on wed for $150. D0OE-R heads are going to be little more spendy.
