Good Question. I honestly don't know the answer, but I've never heard of it being done. Since the "335" series is canted valve, I kind of doubt it. My guess is that they are too wide to fit next to each other in an inline configuration.
It's been a few years since I've seen 351C rockers, but they did seem very wide.
Anyway, if you have some, someone has to have a head off a car you can try them on....

10 years ago when you got them were they originally sold for cleveland engines?
