I think everything that bolts onto the crank flange is 60 ft/lbs. Someone else will chime in soon with the actual number.

60 lbs ft ---- Let's leave it there unless someone posts a correction for a 2 - piece rear main

Later 1 piece L98 74 lbs ft likely a change in the fastener created the change.
