ok so im replacing all the bearings on my engine and was wondering if the main caps and the rod bearing cap use torque to yield bolts? i know the heads are and already have arp bolts waiting but im not sure about the rest...any info is appreciated

 

No.

 

I think the bolts are 77 ft ibs torque but not torque to yield you can buy some perofrmance caps for a stronger bottome end im currently in kuwait right now and am planning a complete rebuild on my camaro when i get home and hope to reach about four fifty horse power with my total rebuild. If you have any question you should first buy that lt-1 lt-4 rebuild manual and the chiltons or haynes there is good info from both of them. Also since the bottom end is basically the same as the 305 and three fifty of the old days you can also buy some dvd's on ebay and use this in conjunction with the two manuals none of this stuff is a bad investment.
