I got an online quote and shipping is 1.5x the cost of the part. I've requested shipping details to see if I can a better cost on shipping, $1600 is not possible.
I don't know what Armando's Racing Oil Pans would charge to ship to South Africa, but he supposedly worked for Aviaid before setting up his own shop. He built my pan that follows the Aviaid design and I'm quite pleased with it. Please note Armando's pricing includes a pickup tube designed for that specific pan. He's a small shop, so shipping costs may be more reasonable.

If that's not an option, check out the Canton 15-820 and the Milodon 31650 pans. They have kickouts like the Aviaid, but only at the front and not nearly as long as the Aviaid kickouts. As a result they're also only 7 quarts, while the Aviaid pan is 9 quarts. At 6" they're about the same depth. Summit Racing's shipping to SA appears to be much less than Aviaid's shipping charges.

Edit: Here are photos of my oil pan - for a Ford 460: https://goo.gl/photos/LV32eSaJ4uwCyRWY9
