I can double check later but I think the flywheel is 65 with blue thread locker, stock exhaust manifolds to head are 25ftlb and my intake was 30ftlb.

1. Intake manifold bolts: 30 Ft-lbs
2. Exhaust manifold bolts
a. 1968-1977 Vettes: 20 Ft-lbs
b. 1968 - Up: 20ft-lbs outer bolts, 30Ft-lbs inner bolts
3. Flywheel mounting bolts:
a. 327,350 c.i. : 60 Ft-lbs
b. 427,454 c.i. : 65 Ft-lbs
Good luck!
