It depends on what your plans are. T&D replacement rockers oil through the head so that would be my choice for any extended street driving. I prefer the individual shaft rockers but they oil through the pushrod so the lifters and block need to be correct for this.

A B1 in that 62 would be quite a sleeper. Funny thing is, I was just talking to a friend of mine, has some B1 stroker parts to go in MY 62 !

The heads pictured appear to be B1 BS heads. More of a street style head. When ported they can be pretty good. Unported they are nothing special. Original B1s use a different intake, rockers, and have oil drain back lines. They are not very suitable for the average street car.

I have to disagree Doug (probably for the first time) , those look exactly like B1 originals to me. That is a B1 intake that needs spacers to work on a rb, spacers are shown, and the b1,bs was designed to use normal intakes. Also, those exhaust ports look like the originals to me.

It’s pretty common practice with original B1’s to add oil drain back lines to assist with keeping the heads from collecting too much oil up top.
If you decide to use them, might want to add that to your plans.
Been a while since I had any B1-BS heads here, but my recollection is they have straight spark plugs.

B 1 originals they didn’t come with the oil drain downs we have to put them in
That's why I assumed B1 BS. Still a poor choice for a street head for anything less than a 850hp build.
