Just installing the heads, does everyone use 80 ft/lb for the large head stud final torque?

Cam is in, should be doing final assembly in the coming weeks and then just wait for a free weekend to do the swap.

Anyone else had a motor in and out of these and have a few hints to save some time or broken knuckles?
i.e. take the rad out/ leave it in. leave the exhaust manifolds on the exhaust?
I see some people leave the motor mounts attached to the motor, is this easier?
thanks for any tips.

I think i did 75 with lube.
remove rad
I installed the exhaust after the motor was in, theres a lot of room
I installed motor mounts on the engine then set it in.

Bought a new house and moving in a month, so the motor will be transported to the new house and installed there.
New house has a 32x28 shop with heat and a/c so no excuses once I'm in there, haha
