Have a 24 stud 59 Engine that I'm installing in my 35 pickup. Previous owner never heard it run but thought it had been rebuilt at some point. To check for condition we pulled the heads, intake and one rod and main bearing cap. Everything looked okay for my use plus engine is clean inside and out.
Has not had a total rebuild, only clutch, pressure plate and one set of valves.
I now realize that to re-assemble I should have torque spec's for main,rod,head and intake bolts. I started a search on this forum but it's too easy to get carried off onto other subjects. Would anyone have the spec's readily at hand and would share ?.
Thank You
