What engine mounts are you using? You want to match or make the trans mount softer.

Got the engine mounts from Tim G. I think they are Anchor. I can't seem to find this bolt ring for the flywheel...because I don't know what it is called or where to get it!

If you don't find it, don't sweat it. The ARP bolts have a huge head on them. Also, the Anchor mounts are rubber, I'd go with a rubber trans mount.

How does 70 ft lbs. on the flywheel and 30 ft lbs. on the pp sound?

blykins,
I just saw on Muscle Car's website a Fidanza alum FW with no bolt ring. I'm thinking it won't be necessary with the ARP bolts. I will consult with Fidanza about that tomorrow.

I will call Fidanza in the morning to see if the bolt ring in necessary.
What are the torque specs for the flywheel and the pressure plate? Is there a link with those numbers?

I used an aluminum Fidanza wheel on my 428FE....I didn't use a ring.
Did you buy ARP fasteners? The specs will be on the box.

I'm sure you'll be fine without it. Your torque specs sound close....I was thinking 65/25...but like I said, the specs will be on the package.
Do you have a new set of muffler bearings?

Hey Brent,
It sounds like High-Tech is about to pull his hair out and you're messing with him about muffler bearings..........You should be ashamed ! I'm sure he keeps spare muffler bearings in the same drawer as his left-handed adjustable wrenches.........

I was going to say torque wrench but it sounds like you thought of that.

High tech...65/25 if you torque 30lbs on the p/p plate you'll snap the bolts....snaped two yesterday  not fun  ...grade 8 bolts too...now I'm torqued at 25lbs no problems.
