I would suggest a Chilton or Haynes mustang manual. Maybe a small block ford manual if its current with the EFI stuff.

just take you time and take lots of pictures. its not brain surgery or anything its just time consuming. did you intstall the supercharger yourself or did you buy it on the car?

i torqued the heads to 25, 50, and 75 using the sequence that i got out of the brothers performance catalog

I know that Haynes has the tourqe for just about every bolt on the car. As for the secong part of your question, they have to be the same way they were when you took everything off. And make sure you put the timing chain back on the same.

Definately get a Haynes manual, if you have never done this before, you will need it.

I would also HIGHLY suggest finding a friend or family member who has done this kind of work (The person(s) don't nececarily need Ford expierience, any OHC V6/V8 knowledge will do) to help guide you through you're first time.
