Pretty sure.

All of the casting numbers I've seen on FoMoCo stuff were raised, and stamped numbers were indented. The process used on the rocker arms looked very similar to the build-date code stamped on the little tab on the front driverside head.
Plus the numbers were not always in the exact same place, with variations of up to 1/4" north-south and east-west.
I too thought they may be mold numbers; but did they need THAt many molds just for rocker arms? (I guess so, if you making 1 million-plus 289s each year and they all need 16 rocker arms.)
Mr F, if you want want to look at one I'd be happy to send it along. Let me know.
This thread, so far...
