I think what hunty is trying to say is the market in Australia is so much smaller than the US, and people who do deal in these types of engines here know that, which basically means they can charge what they want.
A $20000 camaro in the states would be a $50000 car here, Aussie market is ridiculously overpriced when it comes to this type of stuff.
I've got no doubt the performance market does have everything needed to build/play with these types of engines unfortunately in oz there's maybe 12 reputable speed shops and same again, they too charge a fortune and near on impossible to get fe parts from.
Unfortunately most f trucks in oz don't use fe engines they're all mainly 302/351 combos, and the other models of cars that do have them here are pretty much non existent so it does make it hard, all comes back to supply and demand.
I guess I'll just keep my fingers crossed that the old 352 still has a few miles in her yet. Then to sort cruise o magic repairs, oh the joy.
Cheers Chris.
