torqueing specs

well, i am new to the board so hello to everyone.
my buddy is working on his 85 bronco II . he is rebuilding the bottom end and his book doesn't cover it. he is to the point of torqueing the crank bolts and the cam. can someone help me out. i tried to talk him into swapping out the 2.8l v6 for the 302 that is in my full size bronc but he didn't want to tackle it.
thanks for any help that you can give me
