V12V Intake Manifold Torque Specifications

Hello All!
Does anyone happen to have the intake manifold & exhaust manifold torque specifications and/or torqueing procedures.
Will be performing some work soon on the V12V, and just wanted to have the info ready ahead of time.
Thanks!

No idea, but what work are you going to be doing on the V12V?

I wouldn't torque them unless u plan on replacing ever bolt, stud and nut..on all the jobs I do with intake and exhaust manifolds that I re-use the hardware, I just tighten it by hand, that way you can feel if the bolt is over stretched..Reason I don't torque old hardware for stuff like intake and exhaust, I've had too many bolts and studs snap on me..plus there is no way to torque correctly unless u take the engine out if the car..by putting swivels, extensions and adapters gives u an incorrect torque setting..when I have a clear shot at the bolt and don't need more than a 6in extension, that's when I torque providing the hardware is new or the workshop manual says it can be reused..

Thanks Irish! That sounds like a very reasonable approach. I've snapped a few used bolts in the past as well, using the factory torque specs.
Racer X - I will be installing a catch can (possibly have to custom fabricate one based on the limited amount of room), and will also be doing a few other miscellaneous goodies. I'll let you guys know once I'm complete and have all of the bugs worked out.
I'll also take a few pics for anyone that might be interested in doing something similar.
Thanks for all the replies!

Telum01 thanks a lot for the torque chart! I'm sure it will come in handy for a lot of other projects that I have panned!
