What are the torque specs on the two bolts that hold the cross member underneath the oil pan....Can't seem to find it....Thanks

I went thru this same exercise and wound up using the 67 spec for the same bolt, 379068-S - 45-60 ft lbs.
("Tighten until it turns easy, then back off 3/4 turn" - a GM spec.)

Thanks, although I got impatient and wanted to get the car back on it's own tires I put it at 70 ft lbs last night.  Been sitting on jacks for 3 months and now ready for our car show season here in the desert....

When in doubt, read the instructions, or the net - http://www.engineershandbook.com/Tables/torque.htm For a grade 5 bolt, you are very close.
