Each block can be different. You should check to make sure they don't bottom and make sure the threads are cleaned and tapped prior to assembly. On the lubricant - I would either get a torque spec from ARP, or use 30wt oil on the bolts and the factory torque spec/sequence/steps. The ARP lube will allow the bolts to preload more before they reach the spec than 30wt oil will. Also make sure if washers are used on the head bolts that you lube the washer on both sides too.
