Is the BBM iron block main and cross bolt torque spec's the same as a std 427 cross bolted block? The BBM has 7/16 cross bolts being larger then std?.

It’s different because the fasteners are different. I use 110 on the mains and 55 on the side bolts.

Whoops, yes, 65, fat fingered the 55, laying in bed using my phone.
I do use 3 steps on the side bolts too though out of habit.
