Just a note, any Pinto head can be used with fuel injection, that's entirely an inlet manifold thing.
Find any head from a wreckers or browse trading posts for them, a new head is pretty costly, as most new ones are well built for high performance buildups. The last one I bought was from another four door RS2000 and cost me a cool $100 - with the valves and all. I was going to say I have a spare head, but after the results of my X-rays and Magnaflux testing, I only have one now heh. If you don't need the number three cylinder, I have a spare one..........

A non EFi head will need notching for the injectors though.... Also the EFi heads have slightly better ports.. but a standard head can be modified easily to be used with EFi.
Have no idea as far as where you can pick one up in queensland though..

Interesting... the EFI setup I had a look at seemed to match the standard inlet manifolds I have. Well, what Ben said!
