Turns out the shafts that I had on a later model head were too big around to fit into the pedestals. So what am I looking for? Do I have to find the shafts and rockers from the early pedestal style head only? Thanks for any advice.

i'm thinking 59-63 [or until they changed to 6 bolt valve covers]big block heads, 383 or 413 engines would be what you need to look for.
