torque iron heads to around 90 ft/lbs. (start at 35, then 65, then 90)

Pick up a haynes book for your mustang and the tightening sequence will be in there

Keep in mind that is for 7/16" fasteners. Being studs, you can add about 5-ft.lbs to the values. 90 seems a little excessive, but I'm sure it works.

My studs have been on for 4 years and I went by the above chart. I have 1011-2 Felpros and aluminum heads.

Cast iron heads are usually tightened to a larger amount than aluminum
