Where to get junked Cummins cylinder head?

Mods, please feel free to move this if its not in the right section.

I've been trying to find get a junked Cummins 6B head for compound turbo mock up. I've been looking for a few months now and I can't seem to find anything. I've seen some on ebay too far away, checked all my local craigslists (even posted wanted ads), and called the local diesel shops. Anyone in or around northern california have any ideas on where to look for a head? Maybe some shops or junkyards that won't charge an arm and a leg for an unuseable head? I hope this doesn't sound like a wanted ad, I just need a place to start looking. Any help is appreciated.

yea i just noticed that. was gonna say you pay shipping and you can have it but i bet that would cost a pretty healthy amount to go that far being so heavy.

I've got one as well sitting on my garage floor. Nothing wrong with really, just has 300,000km's on it. Could be a little far to ship though unless you want to make a drive up the coast and across the mountains

I think I found one at a diesel shop in sac. Thanks for the help, I do appreciate it (even though my headgasket won't appreciate it when I'm down with all of this).
