'74 390 specs

I can't find any info on a '74 390 in the books available to me. Doesn't even show a 390 for '74. Changing out the timing chain and I need some torque specs. Cam gear bolts, timing chain cover,water pump, thermo housing, and crank bolt. I would think that most years are about the same. I'm especially concerned with the cam and crank bolts. The others can be guesstimated if needed. Thanks.

Hey thanks a lot guys. I can get the front end of this motor back together now. What manuals do you guys have for these engines. I have checked with Hayes, Chiltons, Petersons and haven't been able to find anything. Thanks again.

Look for a book called Big Block Fords or something like that, written by Steve Christ. Really good book for FE's.

Yeah I've seen that book mentioned on this site a lot. I will have to get it. I didn't realize it included torque specs. Thanks.
