A google search is showing different sequences even when making sure the sequence is for a 283 not just SBC. Have 1960 C/N 3774682 heads. ??

The specific sequence is not terribly important, just start in the middle and work toward both ends. I like to torque in about 3 steps- - - -40-50-65 ft/lbs. Lube the bolt threads and a dab under the bolt head with motor oil.

Like HRL says, start in the middle and work outward, but do it side to side as you work your way outwards. Do one bolt on one side, then one bolt on opposite side and continue that way until you reach the ends. Do it in 3 steps.
