Motor mount and flex plate questions

I'm wondering what thread lock to to use on bolts to fasten it to the crank, also what torque specification?

I also need to find out what bolts to use to bolt the flex plate to the converter.

Wondering if and where I can get a bolt set to bolt the 904 housing to the 318...

And while I'm at it, just want to make sure these are spool type motor mounts and a suggestion as to where to get new ones..

Thanks!


Red Loctite is good.



I also need to find out what bolts to use to bolt the flex plate to the converter.

The flex plate bolts have a larger head than standard bolts. Here is a link to Mancini racing page with several options for crank to flex plate bolts. You will need 7/16 - 20 bolts and torque them to 55 ft*lb. You may use loctite, but if you torque correctly, it isn't necessary. Also chase all threads (not new) with a tap or die for best results and more accurate torquing. They have a kit with both the crank to flex plate bolts and the special flex plate to torque converter bolts (which also have a larger head than standard - torque to 270 Inch*lb)

You can go to the hardware store and get 3/8 - 16 x 1 1/2" long bolts and two 7/16 -14 x 1 1/2 - 2" bolts.


Mancini may also carry the motor mounts, but I can't find them on the web, call and ask them.
