I'm helping my dad install a T56 kit from DD Performance in his Vortec V-1 Blown 97 Cobra tomorrow.

I think the following torque specs are correct:
Flywheel to crank: 63 ft/lbs
Pressure plate to Flywheel: 33 ft/lbs + 60* of extra rotation
Transmission to bell housing: 55 ft/lbs
Crossmember mount to transmission: 35 ft/lbs

Do those look right?

I need the following as well:
Engine Block to Bellhousing: ?
Drive shaft to rear axle bolts(Not using spacer, kit includes the proper length shaft): ?
Clutch fork cover to bellhousing: ?

Also which fasteners require thread locker or a sealant?

Any other advice before we get started?

Thanks for the help in advance!

Bell housing to block is 38 ft lbs.
No torque spec for the Clutch Fork cover.

Driveshaft to pinion flange bolts use red loctite.
