Re: valves
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure the 289 Hipo has mechanical lifters. That being the case, you don't adjust the valves to a torque setting. You would want to adjust the rockers to have a reccomended valve lash with the engine warm. You do that with a feeler gauge between the rocker and the valve stem. Almost any tune up manual or better yet, a Ford shop manual, will give you the proper procedure for adjusting the valve lash.
