That date is among the most common.

I would guess the early heads for a 1968 would be worth a little more, due to being more rare. And Ford made CJ heads for quite a few years after car production ended, those dates probably a little less valuable since they wouldn't be correct for a restoration. However, I would say condition will be important too in figuring value. A set needing lots of work, or that have been milled excessively, or the subject of a bad porting job, will all be worth less regardless of the date codes, especially since CJ heads aren't extremely valuable, so quality of the work will matter too.

Numbers matching, fresh, not run, not milled $1000.00-1200.00 to the person who needs them.  If they have to be taken apart to verify work done, the price will come down some as in your 2000 miles usage.  Joe-JDC
