One at a time. Sorry I couldn't resist.
Look at any chevy engine manual it will have the proper sequence. I must say however I do it by feel not by a certain TQ value. Most small blocks state a 25 ft*lb value which I know I am under that. And if it is a high dollar tri-power intake be very careful with it. I know I was kind of nervous when I was tightening up my dads 400 hp tri-power intake, you don't want to crack that. All my race motors I also do my hand with no TQ wrench all by feel.

This is for a BB (suggest making a sketch and also getting confirmation from other members that SB's are the same) ?
