I don't have what you need, but this will bring you to the top. I'd suggest you invest in a quality shop manual and try not to rely on a website.

scares me to think you've put an engine together before and don't own a manual. scares me more to think you'd trust info you get off the net over a manual.

Scares ME to think that a 400 SBC calls for different torque specs from any other SBC !!

p.s. What's wrong with info on the net ? If it was all wrong then why are we all here anymore ? lol It's all a bunch of lies I tell you!

how many therads on here have you seen with 2 totally differant answers? last week it was 4 bolt blocks weigh more becasue of thicker main webs and taller decks, even thought the poster couldn't produce a measurement for the tall deck SBCs. of course having the torque specs is pretty useless without the correct tightening pattern.
