As far as torque specs, you won't ever get a torque wrench in there

 

They should go pretty tight given it si a cast iron block. You shouldn't have any issues stripping them. Just go with what feels right, but do go kinda tight on them. I usually use a 3/8" drive ratchet, and go from there. Don't use a 1/2" drive though, that much tq is not neccesary.

45-60ft/lbs should do it.

 

60ft/lbs is around kungfugrip tight using a standard 3/8" ratchet, as much as you can go. More than that and you need a breaker bar or a pipe.

um, theres a thing called a torque ratchet, works just like your standard ratchet.
