Rotating torque for a new build?

As I recall the book Big-Block Mopar Engines (How to Rebuild): Don Taylor calls for 5 ft/lbs per cylinder. So under 40 is fine.
I've got his small block book, and thought it mentioned something about that. But I read through it a couple times and didn't find anything, maybe I just glossed over it. I'll have to go back and check again I guess.
