How much should an EF Head be? (estimate)
I am looking at getting one and doing some work to it so I dont have to have my car off the road whilst the head is being worked. Are EF and EL Heads Different? I have a 1995 Ford Fairmont 6cyl Sedan Series I Is there anything that I should look out for when buying a head?

You guys ROCK
Always the way Rapier, the one who has one is not in the same state 
I am in Victoria so yeah postage would be a killer
So if I pay $50 to $80 that would be about the mark? a Stock 6cyl Head over $100 would be a rip off Does that sound about right?

depends on the condition...
i wanted to get work done to mine so there was no use payin for a reco head when i didnt need one... just keep ur eyes open... even if u can find a cheap motor and just pull the head off it u are still guna save urself some money!

Yeah same here, I want to work the head but I dont want to buy a clapped out head..........
I just didnt know what I should pay for one as I have never looked for a head before and I did a search and couldnt find how much they are worth, just sections on what you can do to them............

Paid $780 for a brand new Ford 95 EF head with my valve gear reconditioned and fitted to it. Couldn't find a good suitable second hand head in W.A.

they are only worth as much as the condition they are in...
i know that makes it hard as some ppl might not be helpful ie tryin to sell a dud..but others mite be in really good nick for a little price... just get as much of a history on the part that u can b4 u decide to purchase

I just got a quote from FTG Auto Salvage and they want $175 as well so you werent ripped dude, looks like thats the going rate with wreckers If I get a head off a car that has done under, say 200,000klms and the car was in a write off their shouldnt be too much wrong with the head

cant u use an AU head ? generally there are a few sub 100k engines at wreckers. if u are going to get reconditioned u could always get your valve gear put it that one so u can still use your e series stuff.
