Aussie heads available for cheap
I just sent payment for a pair of Austrailian/Cleveland 2v cylinder heads. The seller has more available for $225 as-is and $275 hot-tanked.
I hope I haven't broken too many rules by posting this message but at this price I thought it would be a public service to pass the word along.
If the moderator agrees to allow this post to stay, contact me to get the seller's email address.

is it dsc motorsports per chance?
also check and see that the numbers(the first series of four anyway) on the heads match
some of people get many many heads in and they are not a matched set so they sell them cheaper
this can create problems
not much besides cc match grind, different pushrods(8 this size and 8 that) and possible seal problems around intake

Ok. I checked with my source. No, the heads are not mis-matched. Matched pairs as they are removed from the engines. My source says that the one of the heads may have been swapped in Austrailia when they were in service but that they come to him as they are removed from the engines.

My Oz heads arrived today. They're perfect. They look like they could be given a valve job and run as-is. I cleaned them with a couple of cans of oven cleaner and de-greaser.
They're matched heads that seem to have come from the same engine; the paint on both heads is blue underneath with black over the blue. The casting dates are the same, and they're in the same condition.
I'm stoked.

Sounds like you have a good excuse to upgrade the valves.
Yeah, I should treat my motherboard to a new case. The cheap case I have now needed some heavy reworking to keep things cool. I put in another fan that blows from the (open) side straight onto the memory and processor. It really helps cool things but it's noisy.
