I am looking for the Offenhauser Flathead torque spec and pattern for 51 Merc flathead. Thanks in advance for any information

Thanks for the references.

I think I'll go with the two step process starting at 30 lb/ft then finish at 45 lb/ft. using one of the stock ford torque patterns that start in the middle and proceed in circular fashion toward front and back.
