Hi,

I haven't done business with them yet, but Pentastar Parts (Australia) has opened on online store which includes Slant Six parts. The link to their slant six parts is here http://www.pentastarparts.com.au/sunsho ... /subid/17/ and the link to their home page is here: http://www.pentastarparts.com.au/

Figured we can always use another source for these old sixes!

yeah, they have been noted here before. thanks for reminding me of them, though. it appears they have added a few interesting items. i especially like the custom billet cranks. wish they had a pic posted on the site. wonder what the exchange rate is these days. :shock:

It's always nice to have another source of parts, and this supplier might be great for our friend down under. What I have seen on their site, most is available from stateside suppliers, for less money.

Those custom pistons sure seem pricey. My shop is going to have a forged set made for $600 Plus rings. Not sure about the cost of the rings but I don't think that they will be $700.

Yeah, and check out the price! Ouch! My custom Venolia pistons were just over $500 after all the options and shipping. The ductile iron top rings were about $115 shipped from Total Seal. The other rings will be from a standard +.060" replacement set.

The only parts on that site I'm really interested in are the Romac damper (it's not a dampener as it doesn't moisten the crankshaft) and the Rollmaster timing set.

Which are both available, here in the states, for less money

I haven't compared, but don't forget to multiply their parts by about .75 to get the US $ equivalent. $100 AU is about $75 US. But then you have to add shipping which isn't too bad for small items but will be either very expensive or very slow for larger ones.

Is the triple SU intake available stateside? I've seen the triple weber sidedraft, but not these.
