Can you recommend a Pontiac engine reference manual for reassembly and torque values?

"How to build Max Performance Pontiac V8's" Amazon Wow - the original version from Jim Hand (that I have) sells for almost $900 on Amazon NEW and cheapest is $149 used. Wow, I must own another collector item! 
2012 Mustang Boss 302 #1918, Competition Orange. FGF replacement
2006 Mustang V6 Pony, Vista Blue. Factory ordered.
2019 BMW X3 (Titled to the wife, but I'm always driving it for her. So I'm claiming it)
Old projects, gone but not forgotten:
1967 FB 400, original CA car. After 22 years of work, trashed by the guy who was supposed to paint it. I had to sell it.
1980 Turbo Trans Am
1970 Mustang fastback, 351C 4Bbl, auto
1988 Mustang GT, 5 speed
1983 F-150 4x4, built 302
1994 Chevy K2500 HD 4x4, 454 TBI

Also, any older (from the right years) auto repair manual like Chiltons, Mitchell, Haynes, etc. will give you the torque values and tightening order for the various bolts and general reference info. Might find one at any library, if they haven't gotten rid of them as being "too old."

I was also thinking those torque values would also be in the Factory Service Manuals.
