G'day. My uncle has a C-180 Cummins and is after another one for parts. Apparently, it's the single piece cylinder head model. The head is the main bit he wants, but will take complete engine.

Finding a good head for a C-180 Cummins is like looking for a unicorn. You will be hard-pressed to find any heads, let alone a good one. These heads were notorious for cracking.
It's probably better to try and repair the one you've got. Even the Americans have very little by way of parts for these C-series motors.

You can find used C-180's, C-175's and C-160's in the U.S., from engine dealers .. however, buying and shipping a complete engine from a dealer, this old and of relatively low value, is probably not worth the effort, because of the eventual total cost.
If you could pick a good one up cheap in the U.S., it may be economic to ship it. Check out eBay (U.S.), there's always interesting stuff on there.
