If you haven't already, get a  1956 Ford Shop manual (includes TBirds).  This will give engine spec's, torque values and a whole lot more.  Good luck with the Bird - I've also got 56 Bird.  Ebay is probably your best choice.

Rock Auto sells the Manual at the best Price I have run across.

I grew up just outside of Selma by the reservoir. I live in Dunkirk now.

Currently the tbird is in My Uncle Fred's friends body shop. The engine / transmission are at my mom's house.

I'm just trying to figure out what all I need to assemble the engine this winter.

I'd like to make it reliable for a little weekend cruiser fun. I have sent in the harmonic balancer and had it redone and ordered a set of tubular pushrods as recommended by the y block engine book. Probably next see what timing chain I should get for it.

If you have any time this winter when my uncle and I could pick your brain I'd definitely appreciate it.

Check to see if there is a TBird club near you.  Members are usually very helpful and have activities with the Birds so when you get done you can enjoy the car

Fastener info can be found here - ENGINE ASSY MANUAL for appropriate year -


https://www.macsautoparts.com/assets/macs/images/size/600x/sku/64-32372.jpg

And in the MPC whether the fastener has its own BPN or is a STANDARD PN, usually found at the end of the actual component BPN listing.

The "Engine Assemble Manual" is not a FoMoCo publication it was a money making project that just uses take outs from the shop manual.(Ford never issued any kind of assemble manual)
