...to assemble than a SBC?

What is different? I would like to assemble my shortblock myself to keep the costs down.

What are the tourqe specs of ARP rod bolts and the main caps?

Any info would be appritiated

 

The basics are still the same. The covers can be a pain in the butt, but if you have some manuals, its no sweat. ARP has their own TQ specs depending on the bolt. Same with the main caps. If your using ARP main studs, youll have to have the block line honed with the studs.
