Going to be doing the Valve Cover gasket this weekend. Where can I get the torque specs for all the nuts and bolts on the wraparound motor mount an this car?

Isn't it more than 5 bolts that need to be loosened? Some 16mm
14mm
18mm

The five are the ones attaching the bracket to the head. The bolt attaching the nose mount donut to the bracket should just be tight. It won't warp anything if it isn't torqued to a value, the attachment bolts could. Same deal for the wishbone bolts and the nuts on the nose mount base.

That sounds about right. Like I said, the bracket-to-head bolts are the only ones that are torque-critical. The little 6mm's holding the harness ground lugs of course should just be snug, everything else should be "good-and-tight".
