Torque values for a 360

Post by TNIceWolf »

It looks like I am finally going to get an extra pair of trained hands to help with my engine overhaul next week. What i need to double check are some torque specs for some components. I have several manuals none of them specific to the 69 year truck engine. What I am looking for is the following.....

Head bolts
Connecting rod bolts
Main bearing cap bolts

I am pretty sure on the rest of the engine bolts but these I really need to double check.
