Four bolt main torque and tightening sequence
I am measuring clearences/tolerances in my 355 4-bolt main and need to know the torque sequence and torque. The manuals I have only tell for a 2 bolt.

IIRC it's 65 ft-lbs on the inners and 55 on the outers. Inners first, then outers, in a couple of stages; like 35-35, then 45-45, then 65-55, then whap the cap with a hammer and re-check.

Do the bolts at the #1 main and #5 main (the mains with only 2 bolts) get 70 as well?
Thanks for the info.

I no longer have the 2 bolt front and rear caps - are they 7/16? 3/8"?
Try a google search for small block chevy torque specs. Heck, I think they're even on summit's website.
