Ok so im gettin ready to install my GT-40 Turbo Swirl heads (y-303) and i need the Torque specs for the heads and the intake (is it different because of aluminum heads?)

You could easily find this information with a search...


Intake manifold bolts
18-21 ft-lbs

Head bolts (assuming using good hardware like ARP bolts)
80 foot-lbs for the longer ones (lubed with 30w motor oil)
70 foot-lbs for the shorter ones (threads coated with teflon sealant)
