Default LS1 build

Im about to pull my motor and swap everything over to my new shortblock. Does anyone know where I can find a manual or u-tube video that does a step by step with torque values
As a note, I've built at least a dozen SBC's from bare block, but obviously there are a lot of differences on these LSx blocks, so I would like to have something to go by.

If you have the part number for the bolts, check ARP's website. You can download the instructions.
For example: I have part # 134-3609. Installation instructions for those bolts are found here: http://arpinstructions.com/instructions/134-3609.pdf

Hope this helps
