David,
Heaths suggestions sound good to me, The only hassle we have in Melbourne area is getting the Z22 bits!
Cheers

Murray Coote did my last head, he no longer does them.
cost me $1300 to get done.
use a Z22 crank, not the Z24
Z22 is a counter weight crank, the Z24 isn't
i know i guy with twin 45's and a Z22
making 163 rear wheel HP
he's chasing 48's, trying to get a bit more top end.
