Where did you get the torque specs for the main and rod cap bolts?

I know for the 302 rod bolts are 27ft-lbs. Well hold I have them on my desktop. Mains for the 351 are 95-105ft-lbs and 40-45ft-lbs is what the chart says. May want to make sure about the rod bolts because we over torqued them and had to get all new ones.

my Chilton's manual says 19-24 ft. lbs. for 1976-77 for the rod bolts, 40-45 ft. lbs. for 1978-86. The mains are 60-70 ft.lbs. for the 76-77 and 95-105 for 78-86. ???
The Hayne's manual just shows 19-24 for the 302 rod bolts, 40-45 for the 351W. It shows 60-70 for the 302 mains and 95-105 for the 351W.
Go figure.
