Default Flywheel torque

Title says it all, my 2000 FSM doesn't list a flywheel to engine torque spec for the 4.7l. It says 'flex plate' at 45 ft lbs but a flex plate isn't a flywheel and that seems low to me... the 5.9l says 55 ft lbs for flywheel, are these numbers even in the ballpark? Also what is the pressure plate torque I cannot seem to find it... The 2001 manual says clutch cover 5/16 is 17 ft lbs and 3/8 is 30 ft lbs.

Thanks

In the 2003 FSM page 6-12 it says to torque flywheel bolts to 70ft lbs. It doesn't differentiate between engines, so I assume that number is good for the 4.7 through the 3.9.

I doubt the torque specs changed between 2000 and 2003 I could be totally wrong though. Maybe call Dodge? I dunno.

Also on page 6-6 it has a torque chart showing pressure plate bolt torque for the v6 and v8 to be 37 ft lbs.
