The manual says 55 ft lbs for the flexplate to crank and 270 in lbs for the convertor. But thats for a stock convertor with the 5/16" bolts. If you have a performance convertor you might have the 7/16" bolts. If you have a Mopar Performance convertor you might want to give John Cambridge a call and see what Mopar torque specs are for thoses.

John is a member of this board and he is also the parts manager at Olsen Dodge. You can email him at parts@olsendodge.com or call him at 1-800-397-8401 and ask for the parts department. I think he's also listed in the vendors section.
