Hi Mark,
The heads that were on the motor we pulled today weren't the best - they needed some new valve springs due to rust and were full of creamy gunk due to a broken head stud.
See photo.
However, Graham from the syncro club rang and said he had a set of AMC heads in great condition.
One head has a tiny crack between valves but the other is perfect and both have no corrosion just some gasket debris.
Graham said he will part with them for $200.00. plus shipping cost.
He also has his beloved syncro with fully rebuilt engine tentatively for sale for $24k.
A couple of photos attached.
For contact with Graham - try 0412 432 151.
Cheers,
Scott

I know someone who is pulling a 2.1 engine from a reco motor due to it having massively leaking head gaskets but almost zero kms on it since the rebuild and new AMC heads.
He has promised the block to someone already but he may have the heads available.
I will ask him this weekend.

Hi John,
I am in a similar situation where I have a running motor, but I'd like to keep it a spare.
I'm looking at about $1500 for a pair of new heads. Re-birthing an old set might cost circa $550-$600 so its a tough call. I was hoping some had a pair sitting on a shelf that were rebuildable.May be I use mine? Not sure waht to do.Of course throwing buckets of cash always seems to fix a $inkro

Give them a try.
When our Aussie Peso was good I would usually get a good deal from Van Cafe for new parts however, they only do reground cams:
