aluminum head bolt torque
I have edelbrock aluminum heads on my 5.0. I could not find out any torque infor other than the rating to bolt the heads to the block. What about the torque ft-lbs on the exhaust manifold and powersteering etc bolts. Any help?

Ford aluminum heads use 16-18 ft/lbs for the intake manifold. On their heads all the other holes have steel inserts so I used factory torque ratings on the low side.

Got to Edelbrocks site for the torque ratings. Or if you're using ARP's, their site has it.
