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.

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