Inliners International Forums General Discussion Engines Aluminum head for late Chevy sixes

WHAT DO YOU THINK A ALUMINUM HEAD SHOULD SELL FOR. ALUMINUM
TO PORE IS $4.00PER POUND A 20 POUND HEAD WOULD COST $80.00
FOR THE ALUMINUM THEN YOU GOT WATER CORES AT $100.00 PER HEAD THE COST TO CAST IT AND THE COST TO MACHINE IT.AND THE COST TO
KEEP THE PATTERN IN GOOD SHAPE SO THE HEAD CASTING TURN OUT
GOOD THEN YOU GOT THE COST OF A INTAKE AND PATTERNS THE COST
OF HEAT TREATING EACH HEAD COST $100.00 THE PRICE OF HEAT TREATING HAS WENT UP GAS TO FIRE THE FURNACES AND THEY WON'T
DO JUST ONE AT THAT PRICE IT MUST BE TEN AT A TIME.
IT IS EASY TO SET AND TALK ABOUT HOW MUCH SOMTHING SHOULD COST
BUT UNTIL YOU KNOW WHAT IS INVOLVED IN CASTING A HEAD IT IS HARD TO JUDGE COST.
I AM NOT TRYING TO BE SMART I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT LIKE TO KNOW
