They are not worth much more than a non injection head, they are only marginally better port wise, personally I wouldn't pay £100, but I'm tight!!

Well I've been offered 60 quid by one bloke for the head and another said he would 60 quid for the whole engine

I have a non injection engine also and u can see the ports are different

Think I will be best to eBay them as surely I will get more than what I've been offered?

Whoever told your mate was talking rubbish, the ports are different, not hugely, one main area is the "bump" in the top of the inlet port to aid fuel atomisation, as the fuel got fired at this.
Most tuners/porters prefer to start with a injection head purely due to it taking less work for the same outcome.
