Too bad, they look good. The Canadian/Australian exchange rate is favorable but the shipping would be a killer. Just out of curiosity do they fit sedans? They kind of resemble Tbird headers. My brother in law will be in Wollongong in a month or so.

I'm told the lifters are re-hardened once shaped.

Maybe you could get a few guys together on this site to order in bulk and reduce costs further.parts and shipping?

Heard of too many going south unless for a stocker.

I will email him tonight to see if he knows if they will fit a full size Ford, if so i will order a set and keep you informed.

So back to porting.I've seen Ted's 375 with the block having notches in the tops of the bores.
This head had 2.02" valves I'm pretty sure.
Will this help my 292 ????

I have two separate thoughts on this. The first is as long as new quality lifters are available, then it’s more cost effective to use the new lifters versus the risk that’s involved with the reground lifters. The second thought is as more lifters are resurfaced, then the chance of regrinding a set of lifters that has already been previously reground gets higher which in turn increases the risk of reduced surface hardening attributes.

There have been many past discussions on this site regarding the use of reground lifters and the following link brings up several of those.

With the iron heads, the notches are required to keep the intake valves from hitting the cylinders wall edges with any substantial lift at the valve. While the aluminum head valves have been relocated so that the intake valves will now free drop into the cylinders, the notches do still help the air flow in that area and especially when the valve lifts are increased beyond the mild performance stuff. When doing the notches, be sure that they are kept above where the top ring resides within the cylinder bore.

Interesting Ted, thanks.

Another question regarding the chambers of the 113 heads. They seem to curl back at the head surface?
