Hi Guys
I have had these around the shop forever and since I am not a S/B guy was hoping you could shed the light on these. They do have #s on some of the rockers W7 W8 does this mean they are from a W8 head? or are they early TA stuff? Do they have any value? Getting rid of all my drag race stuff.

Thanks--Greg

Look like early 318 Polyspherical rockers.

Thanks Bob & Mr P
Just don't want to throw away something that has value to someone. Keep it coming guys if that is what they are I assume they can go in the trash??

I wouldn't trash 'em. Great for a little street smallblock. Post 'em cheap on the smallblock section. I'm sure someone will want them. I've got similar Isky's on a street car & they're rock solid. Never an issue. They've been in use since the '80s.

Bob... I should know this but didnt the poly block have
symmetrical cyl like a hemi... those look to have intake
next to each other like the newer SB stuff
EDIT
I think your right Bob... both rockers have a offset
to them unlike the newer SB that the exhaust rocker
looks straight

The aluminium stands are the giveaway,62 or earlier.The shaft lengths determine if they are 318 poly or early b-wedge.The shafts will be shorter on the 318 than b-wedge.The adjuster hole should be 5/16".

NEVER throw anything away, if they had been smallblock rockers they'd be worth $125 on the 'bay.

BUT, doesn't anyone out there know that on the 318 Poly motor the exhaust valves are on the outside of the shaft and the intake valves are on the inside? So half the rockers are "backwards"?

Totally forgot about that... good catch ... I owned
a 318 poly and remember it as a symmetrical but forgot
that the shaft was in the center
