There is an ever-expanding market for them, particularly if they aren't cracked too bad. If you have the heads off, check for cracks from the two center cylinder exhaust valve seats. Some will even go into the cylinder. They're all repairable. Also, the truck engines were factory ported and relieved - the speed guys go nuts over those. Look at the top of the block between the valves and the cylinders. If it is ground below the level of the rest of the block, it's releived, making for better high RPM breathing.
