Good luck in getting one.
Acl went broke about 1 years and a bit ago.
There are a couple of kits i believe that are just the same as a ACl around

Hey Guys,
Not sure where you got your info from.
I'm in Tas and ACL were still operating at full capabilities until roughly 6 weeks ago,
They are now in liquidation awaiting a buyer for the company.
There products are currently still available and I'd be checking bursons for one B-Man.
Cheers

Oh DVS your right i was thinking of National parts .
ACL were the owners of National Parts that went under 2 years ago. national parts supplied half the parts of the kits for the acl kit.
depending on what kit you after Bursons or repco will be able to help you

Well i know that they were substituting parts for others. So that they could get most of the kits.
I believe that they also have a big backlog of the items that acl made so i dont see a problem with that
I know that you cant buy a complete race rebuild kit these days. Well atleast the one that i wanted at the start of year.

Bursons just rang back - they want to know all sorts of details (including new bore size) before quoting - as they need to put the kit together....
All I wanted was a rough price - geez !
Might buy a rebuilt bottom end from the for sale section !

lol @ bursons.
im suprised you managed to find one that has all the parts in stock..
i was trying to buy a head gasket, valve stem seals and bolts only a few weeks back and no single auto shop had all parts.
best i could do was a full headgasket/seal kit for $300!
