the rockers do not get torqued. you set the valve lash on the 351W by tightening to zero lash, and then tighten i think it is 1/4 turn.

correct. rocker shafts like the fe engines, and smaller 6 cylinders get torqued.
rocker arms get zero lash plus

Pedestal rockers(all 351W from 78 to 97) are torqued to 25 ft/lbs. Stud mounted rockers on all the 351W's from 69 to 77 were torqued as well , these all had positive stop studs and were torqued to 18-22 ft/lbs.
