    Thanks a bunch. I looked all over trying to find it and had no luck. I figured i could get some help here. This is an awesome forum.

    Well now I am finding 30 ft lbs for convertor housing to engine23 ft lbs for torque converter to flex plateI would use these as the 55ft lbs was from ATS.

    Yeah it is really sparse info out on the net about 1st gen flex plates. That one should be right though as they specifically said it was for a 1st gen flex plate. Other one was for aftermarket ATS stuff. Sorry about the screwup :banghead:

    oh thats all right. What i'm doing is putting an allison from a 2nd gen engine on a 1st gen engine. Do you think the torque specs for the dodge adapter and torque converter will work?

    Not sure on that one. I take it you found that allison out of something other than a dodge :lol: The specs might work but I am really not sure about that. Might have to wait a few hours for the ones who will know to wake up..
