..Ak Miller did this conversion years ago (written up in Hot Rod or Car Craft in the late seventies). He did a turbo/propane setup. The Aussie Falcon six is the same block as the US model. The heads came in cast iron and later in aluminum. Also available late w/ fuel injection. Aussie Falcons came with optional factory headers ("extractors" in Oz-speak). Hope you have some luck _ I may even be interested as my engine is in severe need of a rebuild.
: Just for kicks I sent an email to a pen pal in Melbourne. She is telling me that the economy is really depressed right now and that there is a junk yard that she will check with next week but that the $500 US sounds real expensive to her since the american dollar is trading really high with the Aussie. She said she will send me a phone number and price. I never heard of this head before but considering the Aussie variations with the 35 Cleveland, andything is possible. I was wondering if that head will fit a 200.
