292 engine bolt torque specs please...

[Mike_The_Grad]

Hi all, I'm looking for torque specs for my dads 292 i6 that I just dropped into his 64 c10 LWB.
Yes, I have the factory assembly Manila and the supplement for the 1964 year, but these torque specs I could not find any help would be appreciated. Also, what length of bolts for some of these. I can figure out the size on my own.

292 w/SM420:
Starter motor mounting bolt torque and length.
3/8-16x ?

Alternator brackets to engine block torque specs(upper/lower)

Clutch linkages:
Ball stud to side of block bracket

Basically all of the bolt on externals of the engine. Running HEI, one wire alternator, stock starter, flex fan, headers, single carb intake(stock)

Download this manual. All the torque specs are at/near the end.

Thanks steeveedee.
I wonder why they changed the available torque specs through out the years. That 67 guide has different/clearer pictures than my 72 manual. And definitely my 64 manual.

You're welcome! I got nothing on why the torque specs would be different, though.

I just google it.

I get it that some things are common sense. Like, you wouldn't torque your alternator brack to 50 ft. Lbs. But I'm also looking for bolt length. The 292 that I put in my dads 64 isnt the engine I pulled out of the truck. Some of the bolts for it were missing. Like the starter bolts and alternator bracket bolts. Some of these bolts are tapped completly through some areas of the casting in the block. Like the bellhousing to the block bolts.

Generally speaking, the amount of thread that engages should be the same as the diameter of the bolt, as a minimum. If you're going through a nut you want to ensure that the threads on the end of the bolt protrude enough so that the rounded threads aren't what's engaged to get the torque.
