Putting In A New Engine Block......?

I Have A 1987 Ford 3/4 Ton F250 Truck With A 4.9 Long Block That Has Fuel Injection.I Am Buying A New Long Block For The Engine.I Have Pulled The Motor Out,Completely Stripped The Block And Am Waiting To Pick Up The New Block On Monday.Can Anyone Please Tell Me What Steps To Take To Put The Parts Back Together and What Parts Are Gonna Be Torqued.Also What Type Of Torque Wrench Would Be Best For My Project.I Have Purchased The Ford Haynes Repair Manual Based On Complete Tear Down And Rebuild.Where Would I Find The Torque Sequences And Settings In The Book?

Thank You For Reading And Any Help Would Be Great

Sincerely,

Since you are replacing the long block, most of the critical torquing should be already completed, but it doesn't hurt to recheck them.

The intake and exhaust have specific torque specs - and most all of the other fasteners also, but they just aren't as critical as the heads, rods and mains for instance.

Get yourself a 0 - 150 lb ft wrench and you'll be fine.
As they say, read the book for the instructions.

A few bits of advice: use new motor mounts (you don't want one of the old ones failing - I made that mistake only once).

And get a click-stop torque wrench, not the beam type with the pointer. Those are a beast to use. Forget about the Craftsman torque wrench - it has to be the worst tool Sears has. The Tool Guy had an all metal one for $40 that works great. Shop around.

Pay close attention to lubrication instructions while assembling. Don't rush - enjoy the adventure!Putting In A New Engine Block......?
