1960 Oldsmobile 371 Engine parts wanted

Posting for a friend that is 80 years young, He has a 1960 Oldsmobile Fiesta wagon and needs a good set of used or push rods and exhaust valves, even better both intake & exhaust, even better a good set of used complete heads to bolt on. Heck while asking, a gasket set for the upper. Car sat for 50 years in a pole barn, body solid, just need to get running .

Thanks in advance.

I've got a set of heads I pulled from a 1959 371. Would they work? Need to locate them but should have the pushrods too. I've had them hot tanked and magged to be sure they are crack free.

I pulled the rocker rails off before getting them hot tanked. So they didn't get cleaned. I have two sets of #18 heads, one off a 1959 371 and the other off a 1959 394. I believe the difference between them is the end of the rocker rails attach differently between the two. I'll get some pictures for you.

I'm puzzled by that. I can see the pictures posted. Let me send a PM with just a few photos. Let me know if that works.
