Default Head swap question!!!!!

I am doing a LQ4 swap into my 01 Camaro and i was wondering what torque specs to go buy. I am swaping a set of 5.3L heads onto my 6.0 block and wanted to know what torque specs to use. Do i just go buy the factory specs for the 6.0 block seeing as how i am still bolting aluminum heads to an iron block.

You got it! Use the OE head bolt spec (20ftlbs plus 90º plus 90º when using the GM bolts).

Thanks Matt. I had a feeling you would get your say in on this one after reading some of your other post.
