I need info. Will these parts from a 54 Lincoln y-block 317 fit my 56 Ford 292 y block?---- Valve covers, starter, intake manifold, and exhaust manifolds. thank you.

None of the above but not sure on the starter.

To add to what Paul has mentioned, the oil pump and starter are just about the only two parts that are directly interchangeable between the 292/312 Y engines and the 317 LYB engines. The distributors are interchangeable if the gears on the shafts are swapped out. The LYB engines are more closely related to the FE engines in that both share the same bore centers on the blocks.

So you can use an FE crankshaft in a LYB?

no.
