you want to buy a set of heads ? or a quote on shipping? that going to be hard not knowing if your looking for alum or iron .pro top line make heads or did down under would be cheaper buying some around you last time i used fedex ship a L88 crank to netherlands on small stuff to australia i used us mail
That's the bite in this whole thing - the shipping. I ran a quick UPS calculation for you (The guys in the brown vans). Looks like $385 (US) per head figuring a 42 pound aluminum. Ouch!
yes they did make those heads down here at tmt in toowomba but can only be bought from the usa. go figure?? anyways a good set of stockers would be fine as i,m not game to wack her together with the late model heads that i,ve got. its a shame i didnt have the funds or time to organise a container full of good secondhand bits from the usa as it only costs around $4000 landed in melbourne. thanks again darin
well thats to bad i could help you fill it i have some stuff:3dSMILE: like i said i did put the mark 5/6 heads the 14096801gm rect port heads on a mid 70s 454 that was out to 496 at the time i think i used the 1017 felpro or the marine gaskets at the time was a dual print out head gasket for the mark 4 and 5/6 water holes in the deck head gasket. i did get a marine mark 4 502 bow tie bock with the mark 5/6 gm6801 heads on it like i said it needs to be check you may get away with it but you will not the other way mark 5/6 block with the old mark 4 headsQuote:
