I just hit that nut with my impact gun. If guess maybe 50-75 ft/lbs is what I end up with. Your not gonna get a correct torque reading anyway while trying to keep pulley absolutely stationary while tightening by hand.

Are you talking about the drive pulley bolt torque or the impeller nut? 50-75 seems high, but I don't know. I would use Loctite no matter what.

I remember reading about a guy rebuilding one over on corral.net (mustang forum) This was awhile back. There was some info. Vortech head units are very popular with the mustang crowd. Might be worth a look. A Vortech head unit is a Vortech head unit regardless what it's installed on.
