I am in the middle of putting in a 1990 12V into my ford crewcab


I have motor out and am switching the trans adapter plate over to a 47rh type..

I have 3 questions about how tight some of the bolts, I'm messing with are supposed to be ??


#1 , the bolts that hold the adapter plate to back of block ?

#2 , the bolts that bolt the motor mounts to side of block ?

# 3 and I'm sure some will laugh....valve cover bolts




Thanks in advance, I;m just not good with computer reaserch :dunno

The valve covers are 18 lb/ft. I don't know what the others are, I checked an engine specific manual, and it doesn't include the parts required to mount it into a vehicle. I would just go with a general torque value for the size of the bolt you are using.
