Gotta shop around to find them in Oz.
Be carefull with your dealings with "atracing" aka Sydney Speed Supplies.Don't have the best reputation in some places.
Suppliers of quality (I use the word loosely )
ProComp Chinese replica parts
And if the block has been chemically cleaned how come is still covered in paint?

Check Just Parts mag for US parts importers in WA.
What you want is the more common Vortec truck block; roller cam and 4 bolt mains.
Used in 96-2000 pickups and Mercruiser inboards.

Any SBC head will fit
The Vortec head fits the same as a normal SBC head just has different intake ports and intake bolt pattern (8 bolts not 12) requiring a Vortec only intake manifold.
I paid A$1000 for a complete dead Vortec and sold the heads for $600
Could try Chevpower : (08) 9459 7811 has used blocks
possibly Ivan at West Coast Chev (08) 9444 3577 can help
