I have a 1993 8 plug Dport head and intake from a strip down I did and its in perfect shape and thought it a shame to throw it out.
I was going to put it on the shelf but I dont seem to know why?
Is or could this head and intake be good for something?

The 8 plug head is not worth much for racing,but there is still demand for them for stock applications.If your head had the cast roller followers,they are worth more than you probably paid for the whole motor.

Well I already put the 2 sets of cast followers in plastic ziplocs and I guess the 2 heads will be going to the scrap heap.

Put the heads on e-bay? They may sell?

i tracked a couple of dual spark pluds heads since I posted this and they didnt sell...going to the steel boneyrad...I yanked the hyd lifters and valves out and put a nice back cut on them for the local guys that run stock valves. Probably trade them for something....Guess I made some use of them and I'll get some bucks for scrap cast...:)
