Default Nascar con. rod bolt torque spec.
Hey guys, I bought a set of vintage oem peaned and polished nascar connecting rods w/ 7/16th 12 point original thick shanked SPS cap screw bolts. I took them up to my engine builder who has worked w/ FE blocks/engines, lemans rod and after market rods etc,etc,etc. He hasn't touched a set of nascar rods,,,,, ever. He wants the specs. to mag and die ck. under oem torq. spec. I have numerous Ford FE books, but can't find torque specs. Can I get some help pls. The person I bought them from was and is quite the buff on fe stuff, But no info on tightness. Thanx in advance!!!
