apparently you didn't check it good enough because it should be CF-D1DE 8600-BA Australian 6cyl stuff is expensive....now the real question is do you have an Australian 250 head? is the intake and exhaust on the same side? if so then its just a regular American piece. If they're on the opposite sides then its an aussie piece.
hey, it's a common error that folks usually make once. No big deal. The Australian head has a removeable intake manifold - check to see if yours is a bolt on or cast in head/intake manifold. The head is worth a lot of money!
