Mopar Big Block Torque Settings
« on: April 23, 2003 - 12:00:15 AM »
I am assembling a 440 (first time for me) and put the torque settings into a spreadsheet.   I got them from "How to rebuild big-block mopar engines", so if you disagree with the numbers, they are not mine :)
I just thought this might be helpful
