I’m thinking about going with headers on my Swinger, if I sell these things(B/E body HP exhaust manifolds)what are they worth? I don’t mean how much can I gouge someone for, I mean what’s a good price for buyer and seller?

The heat riser has been removed from the passenger side, I don’t know how much that affects value. I was just going to plug the two holes with some stainless flat head bolts, and never think about it again. I really don’t know much about this big block stuff, any help is appreciated.

$275 is a good price for the seller and buyer...

Definitely a good price for the buyer... If the seller is happy than I guess it's a good price... I see people routinely sell them for $400+ & gougers are asking $550-$650 or more....

Sold my last pair of 69's for $275, and a pair of 70's for the same price. I didn't want to hold onto them forever. I have seen the prices you mentioned at several swaps this year, they still have them...
 
I dont know if they sell or not but I see them listed from $400-$600 on average.
 
I will probably just run them. Headers are $1,000 for ceramic coated. I was hoping they were worth $500 to cover half, but I don’t want to rip anyone off.
 
Post the date codes, if someone is looking for those particular dates they can be worth more...
 
Whatever you paid for them.
If free, give them away. I did.
Give someone else the same deal you got.
 
They sell readily for 500 to 600 each, all day. They're hard to find in good condition and until they're re popped, the price will hold.

Unfortunately I can’t afford to do that. If I didn’t sell the parts that were given to me I couldn’t afford the big block swap. The person who gave me this stuff knew that and that’s why he blessed me with a bunch of extra stuff to sell. I have sold all of it for great deals, but I can’t give it away.

$700 plus tax for a new set, maybe $500 for used isn’t out of the question? I wonder where the new ones are made?

Yours look nice and look like they would clean up very well. $500 might be on the high end, but a guy who wants the numbers on yours would jump on them for that.
I don't know where/who makes Tony's. You could call and ask. I talked to him once, he was nice enough.
 
Yep, the repop's have been out for quite a while. Still have not seen a nice set of originals go for more than $450 a set and that was because the guy wanted the specific date codes. They made thousands of them, but be aware, they crack and have to be checked over carefully, especially the back sides towards the heads...

The repops look great, and can’t beat the price for brand new. The set I have is in really good shape, no cracks and the motor was running a month ago. Sounds like my best value is to run them. I’ll save my pennies, and hope for a Black Friday deal on some TTI’s. Then pass these along for a good deal.
 
I believe the same manifolds were also used on 383 so there were tons of them made. Its not limited production like the HP 340 manifolds.
 
However the drivers side doesn't fit an A body unless your not planning to steer the car..
 
I bought a set for $40 10 years ago at a Mopar swap meet. Who knew they would skyrocket in price? There is a set locally for $400 and they have been for sale for 6 months.

Close enough to make them work. I had them on a 400 based 451 in a 65 A chassis and I only had to angle mill the face a few degrees to clear the stock steering. Kick the steering box over 1/4 inch and they may even clear as is.
