Torque specs - Third Generation F-Body Message Boards

Any one know what the torque specs and sequencing is for head bolts on a 385 fast burn head?

I've called EVERYONE (even googled it) and the only one that gave any info at all was Scoggin-Dickey and they said it was the same as the iron heads - 65 ft/lbs and the same sequence. I just want to corroborate that with someone else.

Thanks in advance.

That's basically true, but the proper torque is going to be specified by your head-bolts. If you use stock bolts, then use the stock torque specs. If ARP, then they should tell you.

ARP is 60 with aluminum heads and their greese. Iron heads are 65 and their greese
