I have stripped my motor for painting and now have to put everything back on....Before I go searching all thru the manual. Has anyone of you put together a Torque sheet for a 235 motor ? I have done this in the past for Harleys...makes it easy to have all the info in one spot....which isn't in my brain.
I'm working on .oilpan,diff. cover,valve cover,side cover,water pump, thermostat to block, thermostat, timing cover,fuel pump, starter etc....

This is from the 1949-53 car manual. If this is not for your engine. look through the other manuals in Keith Hardy's old OLD ONLINE CHEVY MANUALS website. Hoyt

Hoyt, that is exactly what I was looking for. I couldn't find that in the 54 truck manual...I saw specs in each chapter but not all together like that....BUT, doesn't mean it's not there....Could mean I just could't find it.
