I`m not all that knowledgeable... those 3917291 castings were used on
1968 Corvettes with
300hp base engine and on some 350hp engines that year also. But they
were used on other
Chevrolets as well, including 302ci and 350ci, and they came in small
and large valve versions
(1.94/1.5 vs 2.02/1.6). The large valve versions would be more
desirable. The
more sought-after heads of that era are the "461" castings. I can`t
claim to know their value, but I expect if they are in decent shape,
have the larger valve seats, and at least two of them have similar
casting dates, a pair of bare castings ought to bring at least $100 to
$150... but when you have three heads, selling ONE head might be a
problem since you need to find a buyer with one bad head.
I did a search of recently-completed eBay auctions on pairs of those
heads (you have to be registered on eBay to search completed items)...
only 1 set out of 3 sold, for $250, and it had valves, studs, and
rockers; the others were bare: one pair of large-valve heads had no
takers at $300 reserve, and the other set had small-valve seats and no
takers at $150:
Buying heads via eBay is risky, because if they turn out to have
defects, the shipping charges are so high (weight is about 90# per pair)
that even if the seller will take them back, returning them isn`t very
cost-effective.

I`ve seen the 461 (same basic head) for $250-$350 done. Ones that need a
valve job and such should be $150 less average. So his price is about
right.
