In ft-lbs:
Intake bolts 32-35
Head bolts 80-90
Rocker shaft bolts 40-45
Sequence (hope this makes sense) with the exhaust at the bottom:
9 5 1 3 7

10 6 2 4 8

I was always told to torque the heads in a circular pattern, starting in the middle.

from the screwing around on my 240 (my first forray into head pullin') that looks about right. Start in the middle, work your way out to the ends jumping back and forth, end to end and top to bottom like mister custom cab up there shows.
