If you are getting that info out of a Ford manual then don't do that.

The bolts in a Ford manual are torque to yield.

You torque ARP bolts to spec.

When I put all my stuff together a couple of years ago I called ARP and they asked me if I was using Aluminum heads & intake. After I said yes they gave me the following info.

Using their lube and sealant torque in 3 steps the lowers@65lbs and the uppers@70lbs.

Depends on lube used. Check out ARP's site. It has all kinds of good info on there regarding torque specs.
