Ok a couple of things here, with the torque wrench thing, a car engine rod main and head bolts are spec'd out in ft/lb so that was right. But when you're racing 1/4 mile you measure time in seconds and portions thereof, you don't use minutes and try to judge how long it takes to cover the distance, right? Same idea of ft/lb to in/lb when measuring tightening specs. I see that though dated, you do have some mechanical experience that still applies. Just having to deal with 1 cylinder instead of 8. It should be fine, like has been said. But as I am going thru the process stuff like that kinda bugs me.
Now that said, I admit that I don't torque everything that can possibly be, on one of these engines, but I do on the critical fasteners.
