Yeah, but is that an Aussie head?

Mike would be able to get you an answer. I wouldn't expect it extremely quickly. No fault of MIkes, just their aren't many of the heads left and finding them is apparently taking longer.

Cobra,

for a low low price of $1.00 you can call the seller ask him if it has a 2V head. I'm sure they know what a 2V head looks like.

They are getting extremely difficult to find now days. There are still some out there, but most of the guys selling them now, want to sell the complete motor, not just the head and intake.

I would try the contact DB just posted. Buy the complete motor if you have to, then work a deal with them to remove and ship the head, manifold, carb, aircleaner, and the headers (extractors). That's not a bad price for all those parts.

If that doesn't work, PM me and I will see what I can do for you. My suppliers are always looking for them and occasionally, we find a few.

I just bought a complete rebuilt motor for $650 with all the goodies. Forged pistons, headers, 250-2V ported head, Holley carb, cam, dual chain, 175/148 valves, roller rockers, etc. Its in a crate on the way over.

Spoken with the dry wit of an Aussie.

BTW, has anyone got poor Danny his engine mounts yet???

How much did you pay for shipping?
I would love to swap out the 144 for that setup

xzerokidx,

just get an alloy crossflow motor if you're gonna go through all the trouble shipping an engine over.

It's a long way from posting a parcel...

My experience with shipping has been you pay for crating, cartage, documentation, freight, clearance and forklift. On one crate to the West Coast, this will easily run you close on USD$500 all up. So you better be sure that crate is packed with a lot of goodies.

Im a newbie to all this, dont know what an alloy xflow is. I just bought my falcon a month ago and before the falcon I was heavily into imports and 4 cylinders. I am young but very knowledgable in automechanics. Ive been reading all the threads gaining whatever info I can.
