Some FE engine questions 4 ya'll

Did the 352 and 332's have cast rocker arms or stamped steel rockers? And how many years from the start did they switch over from solid lifters to hyrdraulic?

What were the some of the crankshaft ID numbers for the years of the 352 and 332???

What was the over all amount of years on production for these engines?

Were the 1964 - 65 390 Police interceptors forged steel cranks or nodular cast iron?
And were the 1961 - 62 390 HP cranks forged steel or nodular cast iron?

all the FE's had cast steel rockers. i believe they swapped to hydraulic lifters after only 1 or 1 1/2 years. do you mean overall production for just the 352 and 332, or FE's in general? the only FE to get a forged crank was the 427 and maybe some of the 406's... FT's had a forged crank but the snout is a bit bigger diameter so if you want to use one off those you have to get it turned down- or else use FT parts...

You sure about 66 being the last for the 352? I thought it was used in 67 trucks for sure and would swear I saw them 67 Galaxies. Admittedly, my memory could be faulty.
