Rockers 352?
I have a set of rocker arms and shafts that I think are for a 352. The rockers are adjustable and match the rockers from a 1957 312 Y block engine in casting number and size/shape. I have some Y block rockers for comparison. Did Ford reach back in their parts bin when they built the first 352s to use 292/312 parts or did someone put this together?

I've seen those rockers from a 292 and they don't work on the FE engines. I think they have two bolts per stand (it's been a while since I've seen them).
Too bad for the FE, but they have a rocker arm setup that matches no other engines, closest one is the chrysler shaft mount setup.

Roger, there were adjustable rockers on one of the earlier FEs. I have seen them, and was with a guy when he pulled the finned alu. valve covers off to find a set underneith. The yard owner sold them for $40.00, my friend says they bring about $125.00 on Ebay.

Sorry it took me so long to get back. The individual rocker arms are the 292 type on a rocker shaft with the single bolt posts, FE type. I was wondering if they were really FE parts that would work for someone. I am building a 292 so unless these can be reassembled with 292 style 2 bolt posts they are no use to me. They are the rockers from the high performance Y blocks of 1957.
