Thanks for the info, Ill head to the hardware store and get what I need. I plan to get it installed this weekend. Ill need to find the torque specs and all, between my assembly manual for a 66 and the two shop manuals I have I so far havent found what I need yet. I guess its because this is a 350 and its not original to the truck. Even things like the motor mounts are spooking me a bit. Seems that the original engines had rear mounts as well.
The specs I was looking for are for
flexplate to torque converter
flexplate to crankshaft
Bell housing to motor
engine mount to motor
engine mount to brace
brace to frame
From the 62 shop manual it says 60 to 70 ft lbs on the mount to motor bolt for the 409 and 358 engines. Doesnt say the torque spec for the other bolts on that mount to motor.
Thats all I can find so far, anybody have a reference for what I listed above?
