    George,
    My Guide to Buick GS lists cylinder head to Block torque at 65-80 ft-lbs, and Rocker arm shaft bracket to cylinder head as 25-35 ft-lbs. As far as the sequence, I guess you could use the sequence for the 455's. Start in the center and work your way out to the ends of the cylinder head in a diagonal pattern. Hope that helps.
