470 valve cover gasket

[jabfd]

Anybody know the part number for the valve cover gasket and torque specs for 1984 470 also can I use a ford 460 gasket from autozone ?

The Mercruiser gasket is

• MERCURY MARINE 27-73666

It's a Ford head, I see no reason why the Ford gasket would not work.

Yeah, should be the same as a 460 ford. 90 INCH/ lb or about 7.5 ft/lb.
