Motor mount torque

Anybody know the correct torque for the single motor mount stud/nut that bolts to the frame bracket on each side when using a FE engine?. While I'm at it, how about the torque for the two bolts that hold the mounts to the FE engine block on each side. I'll be using grade 8 bolts/nuts. Thanks, Tom.

Use the specs in the manual for Grade 5 bolts for both. For the bolts into the block, the limiting factor is the cast-iron block, not the bolt.
