Stock is 46 ft-lbs, but it depends on what size and grade bolts you're using. And don't forget to check the verter spacing.

I found the best way to access the bolts is to, with the starter removed, use a really long extension such that the ratchet ends up way up front by the steering rack. As a side note, I imagine the extensions inherent torque effects the reading of the wrench.

That being said, I just make them nice and tight and use a thread locking compound.

That is a good idea, and No a right angle, parallel to the drive exstension will not effect the final, torque unless the exstension is rubbing on somthing while you are using it, or the exstension is turning a crowes foot.
