Just saw that and apparently it is Paul Munro's creation.

Looks like a casting to me, just has more machined surfaces (almost) everywhere...

Hi all, They are cast Munro heads. I machine them for Paul in downtown Brisvegas, Australia. The billet bit refers to the prototype single section I made to prove all the programs and to not lose a casting when we got serious. As you could appreciate, the castings are not cheap. Cheers, Warren.

If I recall correctly Paul wanted about $6K per pair.  All of the SOHC heads are expensive, though, not just Paul's...

I was just curious if they were in line with others.
Thanks Jay.

You are right Jay, they are about $6k. I actually insert the seats in the head before a final machine of the combustion chambers. I have a fellow over here by the name of Martin White doing the guide and seat machining at the moment. He is also going to flow the single billet port I made fow when I did the initial prototype. I will post the results once he gets there. Cheers, Warren.
