So, we've been having some problems with keeping the drive train stragiht with the rear-end. I think my frame is bent, but i dont have the money to get that fixed. SO, we used a "come-along" and pulled the trannie and motor straight. I've got ALL grade 8 bolts, and so far, have torqued the motor bracket bolts to 40lbs, the trans corssmember bolts to 35 lbs, the trans mount (poly) to crossmember bolts to 35lbs, and the tans mount to trans bolts to tight as f*&@ since i can't get a torque wrench up there. YOu think that is enough pressure on everything, or can i do it tighter since they are grade 8.


this is in the 72 truck.
