Bolting on aluminum FE heads

[Steve R]

My fellow gear heads,
I'm not new to building engines, So I have the basics down pretty good, but I have always dealt with cast iron heads. The new aluminum E-Brock heads for my S.O. showed up yesterday.
Any wisdom, tips, cautions, or experiences you guys are willing to share as to installing these heads would be greatly appreciated.

Everyone has their own favorite way of doing things, I like to use anti-seize on all the bolts (to prevent dissimilar metal corrosion) and torque in at least three steps. After the engine has been through a few good heat cycles re-torque. As a preventative measure I also like to re-torque at about 10,000 miles (while it may be down the road a bit, it still good to keep in mind).

Must be low or med riser heads for that manifold. I've been looking for aluminum Hi Riser heads for an SO; to match my intake. Anybody make them?

I torque 'em just like lik Woodz said.
