318 POLY top end assembly ?

Thanks for that!
I had not even pulled a valve cover off of one of these wide blocks
nice to see all the internals
didn't realise the valves were not in line like the latter small blocks
I take it the mount for the rocker shaft don't un bolt?

slide shaft threw and add rockers as you go???????????

The mount for the rocker shaft is cast in the head. That's the reason you have to back off the rockers and slide them to get the pushrods in place. My poly originally had non-adjustable rockers. Those are a real treat to work with! I switched mine to the adjustable type for ease of assembly.
