My book has no listing for a 68 360. For a 70-71 360 specs are:
Head bolts: 80-90
Intake: 32-35
Exhaust: 18-24
Rocker arm support bolts: 40-45
Valve cover bolts are just kinda get them tight enough to not leak, or at least thats how ive always done it.

Remenber when you torque your bolts do it in steps, 20lbs at a time is what I do, going through the right order.
