Check ARP's website for the latest instructions. I'm not sure that iron blocks have the same specs as aluminum blocks and you didn't specify. Be sure you follows Ford's torque pattern and start out at a low torque spec (~35 ft./lb.) and work your way up, using the right sequence. Make sure the head and block surfaces are clean before you install.

Make sure you use ARP's ultra torque assembly lubricant. Their specs assume you're using this moly based lubricant. If you don't, you'll get a false torque reading and under torque the head. I used 85 ft. lbs. on my engine.
