    How much torque the engine makes (is it a 2 or 4 barrel ?), or for wrenching ?

    ?????????????? what parts are you talking about?? there are many. Your best bet is a service manual they have them all listed in the back of the engine section.

    Next question will be about the intake manifold torque, and about the tightening sequence :Do No: ?

    I'm thinking he is wanting to torque the head bolts. He didn't say manifold or valve covers ,rocker arms etc. He said head torque. I'm not sure where he is from but it sounds like the terminoligy they use there is different than here.
    Got to give these people a little slack.

    I think he is from South Africa. (RSA)

    Topic starter, please explain what you're planning to do on your engine. (pulling the heads ?)
    There is plenty of help offered, but without more info there's not much to help you with :TU:

    Thanx Jim

    I was looking for the cylinder heads to block bolt torque! I have all the other info I need. I am from South Africa and support, spares and any info in this part of the world is very rare, so I have to ask on this forum as YOU PEOPLE seem to have all the right answers!

    350 Buick engines here are cheap. You can buy them for $200 US out of junk yards.
