The crank shaft in my engine broke. I am replacing it and almost everything else while I have it out. My truck is a 1977 f100 ranger with a 302 engine out of a 79 Grand Torino.
I was hoping I could post here and save the trouble and time of searching all over the net for my info.
I am looking for torque specks and also wondering on which fasteners I have to use loctite?

There's actually a link (which still works!) in the second sticky at the top of the main page which leads to a site with tightening specs. Here's the link:
Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
"High Performance Engine Torque Specifications American V6s & V8s"
I assume this is just hype, and they are stock torque values?
Also, the Hipo 289 is listed as having the same torque values for all components as the 351W, including main bearing caps and head bolts. That makes this entire table, like so much unattributed information on the Internet, suspect.
