Select service manual that pertains to your vehicle year and go to engine mechanical section...

Man if they're asking all of that, they shouldn't be touching your engine

+1...probably better off taking it somewhere else so that you don't have to have your "built engine" break on you. Good luck though.

That is real scary to me and not even my car. I think its like your doctor stoping in the middle of a surgery and asking, "Does that need to be stitched?"

Go somewhere else!!

i agree, a bit scary

1) 90 inch pounds
3) with ARP mains; 60 ft lbs with moly lube
4) should not be going by factory specs anyway, as this is going to be a F/I engine I assume? typically want to run at leat one thousandth clearance for every inch in crank diameter; so the main clearance; 2.3thousandths, rod clearance; at least 2.2thousandths (factory specs allow up to .0023, make sure there is at least that much)

any engine builder should be able to find this out on their own. If something happens to your motor they may try to blame you for getting the wrong specs. Leave it up to them or take it somewhere else. I agree that does sound scary.....

-basically when it comes to this type of investment and level of power you need a pro doing the work -that knows what they are doing. They shouldn't have to ask you hows its done.....invest carefully with someone that already knows every possible solution to a problem because they have proven experience!
