Default Something was bound to f*** up....

because everything else went smoothly..

I'm just doing the final torque on the headstuds and I can't get the number 3 and 6 headstuds to torque. They went to 50ft lbs, but now when I try torquing them to 70ft lbs they just spin... I'm trying so hard not to freak the fuck out right now.

Are they still screwed into the block securely? Did you use the lube and washers?
