X-heads or J-heads on a 360 LA Engine

I've had 30-40 sets of complete J heads and maybe 10 sets of X's over the last 15 years. I've sold one set of complete 2.02 j's for 120/pr and threw away the rest because they don't sell with the alternative out there. I see 2 sets of J's sitting on a pallet now.

X's I've sold for as much as 600/pr needing refurbishing. Cleaned up, tanked bare heads were in the 400-500/pr. Why because the books say they are "special" and the resto crowd. X heads are basically the same as J heads, yet they get mystical powers because they came on primarily 68-69 340's and fond memories. If the resto thing isn't your bag, there are better places to spend your coin. You can get most of the headwork on the J's done for what you'd spend on those X heads.

If you just HAVE to have the X heads, then buy em. If you are working from a value proposition and budget constrained, pass. It's that simple.

@KCBones Nice looking Dart!

I know I have those same thoughts about the 440-6 GTX and Hemi cars I sold back in the 80's. UGH...
