So if i find a set somewhere else and them have them shipped to me, At 50 or more pounds each, all of a sudden those old castings aren't cheap. Buying something new over the counter makes a difference. And good luck finding crack free 624 heads around here too. And no, moving isn't an option just to find castings or race. Thats why i started to build a CM car, I asked a simple question and some of you got your panties all up in a knot as if I want to kill stock eliminator.

How about a motor that is already done?
Or a used motor that still has some life in it
If you want it to happen it will.....

Chipper,I'm sure there's guys from your area who come down here to the States who can bring parts back to you.That would solve your rare for your area parts problem.
