Intake manifold on 525's

It's been a rough few weeks/months but I got to get the engine put together. Next item, Intake manifold. Anyone have the torque specs for the bolts?
Thx

Most intakes get torqued to 35#. A lot of times you can't get a socket on some of the bolts and have to estimate using a wrench anyway.

+1,,go over the bolts more then one tine..keep at them until they all torque,,,i like to start at 15 fr lbs then 25 then 35 as a final number...also seal ALL the bolts threads ot they will leak either oil or coolent.
