Not sure, but you can probably find out by contacting someone at this site:

According to that site, in 1979, Scorpion made a TK and a TKX offered in a 340 and a 400.

Here ya go polariskid,

Cyl. head nuts- 290-340=28-32 ft.-lbs 400-440=16-18 ft.-lbs

The following are correct for 290 thru 440 engines:

Cyl. base nuts are 16-18 ft.-lbs

Flywheel nut is 44-55 ft.-lbs

Intake manifold nuts are 16-18 ft.-lbs

Fan housing screws are 16-18 ft.-lbs

Fan wheel nut is 22-24 ft.-lbs

Ring gear screws (6mm) are 6-7 ft.-lbs

Ring gear screws (8mm) are 10-12 ft.-lbs

Be sure you install and torque the intake manifold before you torque the cyl. base nuts.

Good luck!
Let me know if ya need anything else.
These specs came from my '80 scorpion service manual and also agree with my cuyuna engine service manual.
