i would like to purchase a set of closed chamber oval port heads. but what i need more is affordable freight to australia. can anyone help. cheers darin

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
