I don't know for a fact if any specs are different. Just that I will continue to rely on the reference materials I have had on hand for the past 39 years to service my 69 model. Long before this internet was even a twinkle in Al Gore's eye.

I was debating whether I should post this or not, I thought someone might find something wrong with it but I posted it anyway, I was right. For you disregard the specs I spent an hour taking pictures, putting them on PhotoBucket trying to help members out

Why even bother with the cylinder heads, rods or mains seems you have a built in torque arm, just go with that
