75 to 85 Ft/lbs on the flywheel bolts. Dunno how much fluid you need. ut buy 4 or 5 quarts and fill it to the bottom of the drain plug.

I would not fill it to the bottom of the drain plug, the bottom of the fill plug would be my choice.

2.8 quarts

Put the tranny in first, then fill it through the shifter hole.

Yup - what they said - it should take about 2.7 qts. till it starts running out of the fill hole. Buy 3 quarts and you'll be good. If you have a spare tranny yoke to insert in the back of the tranny you can fill it first (til when level it runs out of the fill hole); otherwise filling it first will have it running out the back of the tranny when you try to install it -- Very messy....
