source for pre cahmbers?

Does anyone know of a good source for Pre-combustion chambers. The heads off my 6.9 have 2 different size Pre-chambers. I wnt to match them before I put engine back together. I can't get the ones out of my old 7.3.
Also what should I expect to pay?
Thanks.

My 6.9 had been rebuilt at some time in the past. I don't know if they used a different head or just replaced the pre-chambers in 1 head and not the other. I want them the same so the engine will have proper balance. I will get a picture of 1 of the heads with 2 of the cambers out and set the other 2 chambers in front. You will be able to see how they go in.

Pictures of pre-chambers

Ok here are the pictures of the Pre-chambers in and out of the head. And if you look close you can see that one has somewhat more volume than the other. This is my problem, different compression ratios with different sizes.
1987 Ford F250 4x4 - pre-chamber

At this point I have not been able to find a source to match them up.
