Tom Langdon is offering a fresh 285cid "Cadillac 261" shortblock for $1600.00 US. An appropriate head, manifolds, distributor, flywheel, and other pieces will likely bring it close to John's numbers, even before the cost of transporting it to Australia. If you want it and can afford it, then it should perform wonderfully well . . . and you may never see another like it.
God's Peace to you.
