Default sites to search for 1 Afr head?

Engine builder thinks mine is scrap. I bought the pair from our resident Afr dealer here on the forums for $1950 assembled with the competition porting. Afr said just a single bare casting would cost $924!?!?! Which makes no sense. So I would like to find someone who is in the same place as me and has just one head I can buy. AFR 220cc competition port bare head.

Or maybe some options.

Places I am going to search:
Racing junk
EBay
Here

Hi Mike, I tried to send you a pm, your mailbox is full. I can talk to AFR if you want and see what I can do to help you out. Let me know.

I cleaned out my mailbox. Yes I would appreciate that. I still feel like $924 is so astronomically high it would be difficult to get it down to a reasonable price. I think my machine shop could fix the head for cheaper. I don't understand how a comparable dart would be around $400...

It is bad though. Big chunk taken out of the combustion chamber but at this rate I can pay $80 an hour shop fee and still come out ahead after 10 hours of work on the head....

Thanks guys I know both of you have helped me out before. Hope it goes well. Anyone else who is on the fence about Afr get with these guys. They will get exactly what you need at great prices. Can't speak highly enough.
