Hello

These are the figures from my Sierra V6 Haynes manual with the Type 9 box:

Bell housing to gearbox = 70-90Nm (52-66lb/ft)
Bell housing to engine = 40-51Nm (30-38lb /ft)

it's at the high end of the scale on your torque wrench where the numbers stop.

It's marked FT.

A good source of bolt info can be found here:

Well worth checking out just how much torque you can apply to some bolts.
