Depends on what type you are after. Edelbrocks can be found at www.vpw.com.au Trickflows and AFR's from www.highperformanceworld.com.au

I will sell you my windsor snr's if that is of interest to you?

347, what sort of heads are they and what price are you looking for?

Unless you have a hi-rpm 5 litre i think they will be a little big for your cubes....I am sure one of the guys on here will have a comment on them.
They are world products windsor snr's

What else have you done to warant aftermarket heads?
Please don't say you still have the stock HO manifold.

unfortunetly yes stock manifolds, cast iron heads and headers. however i fitted the gas research system to it there throttle body converter and lamba sensor. surprisingly it did not lose power at all so i decided since it had done 180000k's to freshen it up a little and see if i can't squeze a lttle more out of it.

If it's all stock then, you will want to at least change the intake manifold and headers along with the heads. Also look at an AU type setup, GT40P heads and explorer intake, you will probably get both cheaper than just a set of alluminium heads and still get good results.

i was thinking the same thing but where can i get just those parts without buying a complete engine no one seems to want to part with them?

They come up every now and then on these forums, otherwise contact places like Mick Webb SVO or Herrod's to see if they have got any left. Slipper has an AU manifold, TB and 200kw cam up for sale, don't know if it has been sold yet though. Expect to pay $1000-1200 for the heads and around $600 for the manifold.
