Torque Specs - 292 Heads

Does anyone have the torque specs on the heads for a 1964 292V8 out of my F-100? I need to take it apart (and hopefully put it back together) this weekend.

The manual I have (which I should add is for the 61-63 trucks) says for the heads:

292 MD 65-75 ft-lbs oiled threads
292 HD 70-85 ft-lbs oiled threads

The Heavy Duty(HD) motor was used in the heavier trucks, so I would err to the Medium Duty specs. Hopefully someone else will pop in with the correct numbers for your year.

Crazy B is correct. But irregardless of the manual go with 70 to 75 lbs. I always use 73 lbs. Also make sure the two slightly longer head bolts on the upper row, go into the end holes.
