I know the olds guys have been buying these heads like cord wood for years. Bernard Mondello basically started a business out of buying the bare heads, installing good quality stainless valves, springs and hardware, and light machining for guide clearances and a good valve job. Sold them that way and they flew off the shelves. He has since gone away from using speedmaster for reasons unknown, but I know a LOT of Olds heads have been sold and are in service. Not that I don't agree that prices are unreasonable for the Pontiac equivalent.
