302 =
Cylinder Head Bolts 65-72 ft. lbs.
Rod Bearing Bolts 19-24 ft. lbs.
Main Bearing Bolts 60-70 ft. lbs.
Crankshaft Pulley or Damper Bolt 70-90 ft. lbs.
Flywheel-to-Crankshaft bolts 75-85 ft. lbs.
Manifold (Intake 23-25 ft. lbs. and Retorque with motor hot), (Exhaust 18-24 ft. lbs.).

That should do it.
