Hi guys.

Just pulled the intake and exhaust off of bad motor and going to put it on my parts car motor ( 120 cold even reading, but i did not have the throttle open, don't know if that is going to make a diffrenece, but i need a cheep motor)

Could anyone tell me the tourque settings for the intake and exhaust bolts for a 77 z, and if there is anything i might want to look at while both motors are out and on the ground?

thanks.

8mm bolts 8.7-11.6 ft-lbs
10mm bolts 25-35 ft-lbs
torque setting for nuts is same as 8mm bolts. As for what to look for, not much you can tell looking through the ports. Just check for anything that looks terribly unordinary, cracks, bent or broken valves. As long as there isn't anything mechanically wrong with your "parts car motor" just get the timing right, fuel and air in the cylinder and it will run.
