I believe so . just need to make sure weather there pedestal or stud application. Always better if they specifi for FORD SMALL BLOCK though. Good deals on e-bay

Um sbc never had pedastal mount rockers...now i don't think the studs mounts will work either, if they did then aftermarket companys would not list if there for sbc or sbf's now would they.

Your not talking to a wanna be street racer, I'll check for myself and see what length is different. I would have to say rocker brands would make a big difference. Almost every rocker brand I have seen is different from each other on the same application. Some have short tips, and some have long tips. A rocker with a long tip for a chevy, could very well work on a ford, mainly if the ford has really long valves.
