Ross I'm in Victoria so probably not useful for local S.A. info. I would talk to Gordon Dobie at the Datsun Performance Centre in Cheltenham (Melbourne) for the welded head. See his ad each week in the Melbourne Trading Post (its on the Web www. Tradingpost.com.au) The Cam - probably Clive Cams in Melbourne's eastern suburbs - dont know the actual address. Clive has basically taken over from Wades who were pretty good cam machinists. You local listers could probably give you suitable local contacts.
