Back in the '70s it was common to adapt all sorts of rocker assemblies to aftermarket heads, have seen a few different "adaptations".
But, something I am finding more of are castings that have never been finished.
This last year, I found a Moller and a Gemsa/Morales, never finished. These will make some nice pieces soon.
The other side of the equation, I have had a few butched up jobs brought over to see if I could fix them. They were too far gone unfortunately.

The shortcomings of the early castings are well known, correcting them could make for a nice little product.
