The only 460/429 heads made by Ford that had adjustable rockers were DOOE-R heads. Also known as Super Cobra-Jet or Tunnel Port heads. Still a great buy for closed chamber heads though!

Steve thanks for thinking of us blue oval boys...
Just for the sake of conversation here
If those are off of a '68 T-bird they are probably C8v-EE heads, which are 75ish cc heads, but like Steve said non-adjustable valvetrain.
The seller is sending some real mixed signals there, a 68 429 was not making 550, the 429 Boss has entirely different heads.
If someone is dying for a set of the C8's, I may have a set later this fall...it depends on if I can snag a complete 460 I found, that is still wearing it's DOVE-C heads...which won't be for sale, LOL
