Looking for motor mount torque specs

[arbailey]

I will be replacing my shortblock soon, and I can't find the torque specs for engine mounts for an '87-'93 5.0L. I used the search function, Google, etc... and have only been able to find specs for 2.3L and 4.6L. I even tried calling Energy Suspension and they said to check the repair manual which of course doesn't list it. Anybody know????????

i have always put an extension of an impact gun and slammed them on there as tight as they can go. . . . motor vibration sucks

OK, thanks. Believe it or not I actually found a torque spec for them years ago while thumbing through a Chilton book (the largest one I'd ever seen) while I was at Borders Books. But of course I didn't write it down, and the book was super ex$pen$ive.

well there is torque spec for every damn bolt on any car but unless they are main cap/rod cap/heads/ EXTREMELY TORQUE sensative areas, how many of us actually follow them lol

The guys around here, slam them on with a gun, then have a 25 inch breaker bar with cheater.
