Thanks all for the replies.   I've been watching all the parts on ebay (US site) but was hoping for something local to make it a bit easier.  Thanks BigAlz for the offer re assisting with postage and if I spend up in the US I'll drop you a line.  I have already bought my gasket kit from there and had no worries.

Just thought I'd see what is around the brisbane area before I start stalking Aussie Bill.

Just down the road a little you will find the most knowledgeable man in Australia (that should gain some browny points) in the guise of a fellow Y blocker who posts on this forum as aussiebill.

Give him a call or check his website www.cussobills.com

He is a great resource for us here in Oz.

Hi Whitey,

I'm an expat living in California. Moved here from QLD(Caloundra)4 years ago! . If you find what you need on ebay i can help you out with shipping to Brisbane. Got an Aussie bloke in LA who ships gear for me.

There is a set of rebuilt 1:54s on ebay with free shipping in the US. $225.00 There is a set of rockers only from Falcon Global whom I havent dealt with also. Have heard some not so good things about them. And there is a set from a private seller that has a 1:43 rocker inplace of the complete set of  1:54 rockers . It will need to be replaced. Just type in Y Block Ford in ebay and they will be in there some place.

G'day All,

After some advice from Ted Eaton (thanks by the way) I'm seeking a rough idea of availability and cost to upgrade my 272 a bit and give her some more go.  Does anybody have a complete set of ECZ-G (non posted) heads and high ratio rockers for sale around SE Queensland and what is the going rate for such beauties?   My block is a standard 1955 CEBY 272 with what I think are ECG-B heads (bit rusty aroung the numbers).  She also has the original 1.43 rockers fitted as well.  The compression appears to be good, but will check on tues as I get a helper to assist turning her over, but there is no smoke at all and very happy to fire.

The other way to go is a complete 292 if available and whether the budget allows as I'm still sneaking the $$$ away from the Officer in Charge of Entertainment and Finances!  Will definately have alot of spendable $$ after August, but trying to find out my options still at the moment.
