Hey guys I am putting my engine together and need a quick question answered. I have the torque specs from edelbrock the are 110 and 105 on the bottom half. I just don't know what kind of pattern I need to use for this, also I know that I should torque them in steps, I was thinking of going up 35ft/lbs each time. If anyone could help me with this as soon as possible I would appreciate it. Also it is for a 351 Windsor.

three steps, 35, 70, 105
pattern, start top center bolt, then bottom center, then follow a circular pattern out. your pattern should look something like this;


8 4 1 5 9
7 3 2 6 10

That kind of pattern also holds true for intake manifolds as well.
