Vintage engine parts identification/info

[jick]

Good Morning men.....

So I got this bunch of old engine stuff yesterday and I'm looking for some help ID-ing some of it....
Here's a photo of it all, the parts I'm mainly wanting info on are the heads, rockers and rods,





The heads have GB 583 stamped into them.......gotta be Berg, right?
How about the rockers? Any ideas?


The rods are Aluminium DeMer brand.....  any info on these?
thanks!

Rockers were made by Taylor Machine (nothing to do with Tayco) and sold by various others. I have a set somewhere. Good to look at but that is all.

i have looked in my old GB catalog and the number doesn't match with a number they list in it, but it could be GB, because the welding looks similar to what i have on my GB heads.

are the chaimbers hemi cut?

[Lids]

GB heads in their catalogues all start with an 8 not a 5.  Even looked in an early 76 one

Thanks guys,

Nicolas, and Lids......I haven't taken off the valve covers to check yet, it was late when I got home last night & unpacked it, I'll have a proper look tonight, but I agree that the Berg number doesn't match anything in my old books either.......
Thanks for the rocker info Keith, just for looking at eh?
That sounds absolutely perfect for me! Haha

The parts all came along with the SNG car I collected yesterday from Southampton docks.......
It's going to need a lot of work, but I'm looking forward to getting into it once my chopped 67 and Stutt-Bus project are a little further along.

Now that's some cool sh*t!

What's the crank?

[jick]

Hey Alex,   The crank is a VW 69mm, 8 dowelled and counterweighted, it has a few vague markings on it, I'll post some photos later to see if anyone can identify it...
Hopefully it'll be ok  for the old school 1776 I plan on building .

Very cool parts, love the collection also.

GB 583 could refer to the match-ported manifolds that are paired with those heads.
