No that's used. Prices I've seen are $225 to $325 per pair fully assembled
and covered in muck. Spend a while cleaning and you usually find they
need a little aluminum welding around the coolant transfer ports between the
the head and the block and/or the head and the intake. Luckily aluminum
is easy to weld and I know a guy that does it at a reasonable price. Might
also need a surfacing and broken off bolt or two extracted. The price reflects
the fact they were manufactured for one year only and that was 35 years ago.
