Speaking of bell housings, does anyone know the torque specs for the bolts
that keep the transmission to the bell housing and those that keep the bell
housing on the engine? I would not want to install them too loosely, and I
would not want to over-torque them either... Also, is it preferable to
install the transmission to the bell housing, and then the two as a unit to
the engine, or is it better to install the bell housing to the engine first?
May seem like a dumb question, but what can I tell you? FYI, the engine is
a Mark 2 289, the transmission is a Mark 2 (HEH-CF) wide ratio, and the bell
housing is the original aluminum 6 bolt bell housing. Thanks a lot for the
help.
