Default New 21 stud heads

I have finally new castings for the 21 stud heads, we have the patterns & the process worked out, it has been around 4 years & a few foundry's, I finally have a good foundry doing some very good work, the castings are very nice & they machine up great, they are cast in top grade automotive alloy & are heat treated to T6, I have 5 pair ready that are pretty much all sold now but I will have a steady supply from now on, I can machine them for dome pistons to order at no extra cost, they are cast here in Australia & I hand machine them myself, I have just setup a website mercury8restorations.com.au you can contact me there & I have a FB page too Mercury 8 restorations, I can ship anywhere, thanks John

Good work.
I have two sets of Johns heads , one set on the 34 and the other on my spare engine,
They are first class.

Looking good! Hard to find after market heads for a 21 stud. Now all they need is to put your name/logo on it.
What's ballpark shipping to the states?

not putting my logo on them, keep them as original, I have just sold 2 pair to the US, with the dollar conversion it works out about $1500USD a pair including shipping

Very nice work! If I was building a 21 Stud motor, would definitely buy these from you! Thanks for all the work/effort you put into these.
