My manual is a couple hour drive from me and I am trying to find the torque specs for :

engine to bellhousing (6 bolts)
flexplate to torque converter (4 nuts)
mounts to engine (4 bolts)

I tried searching the forum for all of these, which I feel like I had stumbled upon in the past, but cannot find them. Oh, I did find, " mount to motor: 45-59 lb-ft" is this correct?

It is a '68 Mustang with a C-4, and a '91 302.

Thanks a ton for any help!

Honestly, tight. I've never torqued any of that in 25 years of working on cars. I just did the clutch in my car last Friday. What was the torque setting, tight.

Haha, I figured that might be the case. Thanks a ton.

In the end, it's your car and you should do what's comfortable for you.

I agree with Pro....

Hell I even work for Ford and we dont follow every single torque spec. Every nut/bolt has a torque spec, but only critical compenents need to be looked at. Unless you have the time and right tools to do it all the way the book says..

the only torque spec you really need to follow are head gaskets,rod and main cap torque and intake manifold torque and possibly oil pump torque but I usually put loctite on those two bolts other than that the rest "tight will suffice"

I agree.. Usually the bellhousing to engine bolts and tranny to bellhousing... I typically just put them in tight, with some blue thread locker
