rod and main torque specs

i need the torque specs for the rod bolts and main bolts thanks

What bolts are you useing.

stock

Didn't I read in another post you were using all forged internals w/ 6" rods? your going to want to get some good fasteners or there is no reason to use forged parts. Order some ARP rod/main bolts.

ok well then what are the specs gonna be?

These are the stock specs Rods 45 ft lbs Main cap bolts 75 ft lbs oil pump 65 ft lbs , but if you are using ARP's or another high pro fastener than I would use there specs.

will large journal main studs from arp fit on stock caps?

will large journal main studs from arp fit on stock caps?
What ?

lol....

Kinda scary. You can't change from bolts to studs without an align-hone.

Some specifics here would be good - you're asking questions that kinda seem like you haven't done your homework on the build...not trying to be a d*ck, just don't want you to fire up and make expen$ive scrap...

sorry i wasnt thinking they are bolts but they are designed fro a large journal

No worries - trying to help here :)

So you're NOT using a windage tray? And the machine work is already done on the block and rods?

And I hate to ask but...you're not REUSING the rod/main bolts, correct?

no all arp do you think ill be ok without a windage tray and they are scat rods with arp bolts

I'm a little leery of diving in here - you said the bolts were stock, then they were ARP. I'm going to pass as good advice given out of context can cause problems :)

My suggestion is to work with your machine shop on this stuff if you don't have someone local that can help out.

i was going to use stock but decided otherwise and i cant find arp bolts for a windage tray

So...here's why I get hinky :) Again, not trying to be contrary - but sometimes questions get asked that demonstrate that the person asking needs more than just the answer they're asking for. So let me try to lay this out in a way that makes sense.

1. If you had machine work done with one type of fastner (bolt or stud), you cannot switch to another without an align-hone.

2. Studs are required to support a windage tray, and there are longer ARP studs to do this.

3. A windage tray is a good idea...but not required.

So we're clear - I ain't an LT1/4 expert by any means. I've built MANY GEN I's but I've learned a lot the hard way on my LT1 383 build.

What are you using as an overhaul reference?

The LT1 has a windage from the factory (vette/Fbody) and Iam not 100% if you can use it with a 383 or + cube build, so if I was you I would just order a ARP kit for a LT1 and be done with it . IF YOU USE ARP USE THEY'RE TORQUE SPECS!!!!!!!!!!

so im not thinking that im going to use a windage tray i cant find arp bolts for a windage tray

What kind of motor are you building ,355,383,396,?

speaking of torque specs. can yall tell me the torque on the head bolts? and also where i can find the sequence of tightiening them?

it is a high compression 355 and i contacted the machine shop that did the work for me and they told me that 99% of the time when switching to a stud you dont nned an align hone so i ordered the studs

So you only wipe a main bearing 1% of the time? :dontknow:

Good luck, man - I got nothing :)

it is a high compression 355 and i contacted the machine shop that did the work for me and they told me that 99% of the time when switching to a stud you dont nned an align hone so i ordered the studsI dont know what to tell you , it sounds like you want to stud the lower end but you asked for OEM specs so it seems like you haven't figured out what you want to do yet.
