ARP head stud torque

[TokyoJoe]

Looking for head stud torque specs for a 351w with aluminum heads, should they be the same for a stock motor?

use the torque spec reccomended by arp, and use the torque sequence recomended by ford.

110 on top, and 100 on bottom will work fine. I know ARPs recommendation is less. The guys using high boost go a little higher to prevent the head from lifting.

One thing to keep in mind is what lube you're using when torquing the bolts. Moly lube is recommended, and that's the lube I used at my torque settings.

Cool. This is for my turbo windsor but It's not going to be "high" boost. Thanks.

be sure to use a sealant on the bottom bolts..they go all the way through and will leak otherwise
