Looks like you already have it but "Half A Turn Before It Breaks" is always pretty good(;<))

Actually if I were to have cast iron construction 6 rule of thumb I'd figure about 30-35 ft/lbs on the intake and 25-30 on the exhaust.......head bolts 60-65. Without a pattern I'd work inside-out, working equally in each direction in a circular pattern and use a three step sequence to the final on the head and a two step on other parts (intakes, exhausts, oil pans, rocker covers, etc. Also worth a recheck a few pounds higher after the engine has gone through a heat/cool cycle.

But you knew all that so I'll shut up!!!
