I'm answering my own question for anyone who needs the info. My brother tells me that the Chevy 350 cu. in. engine is the same over several model years. This would make the torque specs the same for the 1979 350. 45 ft-lbs. for the connecting rod bolts and 65 for the cylinder head bolts. Convert to Nm (Newton-meters) on Google if necessary.
Depends on the rod bolts, but usually 45-50 ft./lbs.
65 ft-lbs on cylinder heads and 45 ft-lbs on connecting rods
Most all 350 rods torque at 45 FT. LBS.I would like to know the year.
The Caterpillar C15 diesel engine torque specifications for the rod bearings is 35 pounds. The main bearing torque specifications is 350 pounds.
