Anyway, I bought new rear mounts and my '58 manual says the should be torques to 50lbs or so. As I start wrenching they seem to start expanding/flatten as if their going to blow out. Is 50lbs really the torque. I'm using the original 3 1/4" bolts. Is their a certain distance that the bolt end should stick out of the bell housing. Also the front mounts I just tightened securely.

Use a little blue LocTite on the bolt thread, and sock it down. It's almost impossible to over-tighten those big bolts, unless you manage to strip the thread in the bellhousing. 50 ft/lb definitely won't hurt anything, threads or mounts.

stops it at the correct distance. often they
are missing. they come with a lock plate at
the bolt head but I usualy use alock washer
instead.
