Torque specs, '52 Flathead intake.

Does anybody know what the torque specs are for an aluminum intake on a '52 Flat 8? Also, is there a sequence?

Thanks

I don't have the exact answer to your question, but stock cast iron is only 23-28 ft/lb. Aluminum, maybe 18-20?

I start in the middle and work out in a sorta crisscross pattern. They aren't hard to keep in place.
