My friend lost his mind, I think, and bought a single SVO head M6049D46. I looked it up and I guess it would be saleable, except it's not a set, it's just one head.
Do people buy just one head? I am not sure what to tell him other than "Why do you buy stuff to resell when you don't know if you can sell it or for how much???" because I told him that already.

Seems like I recall somebody around here hotrodding a slant four with a super duty 421 head. Unless I was doing something like that or needed one head to replace a bad one I'd think the market would be infinitesimally small. Gotta correct that, really old memories, he was running a RAIV head on that thing. I know it had to be adapted to the earlier engine, completely forgotten what had to be done. Pontiac heads have a couple or three year breaks for one thing or another.

That was my take but I wanted to mine the hive mind for confirmation. My advice will be to throw it up on the bag with a guesstimate price and 'make offer' and see how it goes.

I had a local machine shop call me to see if I could flow two Hemi heads for a customer. They had two different part numbers and he wanted to know if they could be used. They tested good enough for what he wanted to do with them.

what I have found amazing was working on mopars back in the late 70s early 80s finding mix matched 318/360 heads 1.78/1.5 valve one side 1.88/1.60 other side as repairs started to stack up on used cars/trucks. or 340 engines with 2.02 1 side 1/88 other side
I have found this on multiple MOPAR engines of all sizes through the years
