Jon,
I beleive those are the specs for the intake bolts and not the belly
(plenun) pan bolts.
I found the specs in the FSM finaly (but it's not in the Haynes). The last
step for these is 84 inch pounds.
Thanks,
James

12 foot pounds (144 inch pounds) is the final number, the recommended
procedure to get there is to tighten in a criss cross pattern, starting from
the center and working out as follows:
- Tighten the "middle bolts" in sequence to 12, 24, 36, 48, 60,
and then 72 inch pounds. On a V6 there are two "middle bolts",
on a V8 there are four.
- Tighten the remaining bolts directly to 72 inch pounds (no need
to go in steps of 12 like with the middle bolts).
- Verify that all bolts are now at 72 inch pounds
- Tighen all bolts in a criss cross pattern, starting from the
middle and working your way out, to 144 inch pounds (12 ft-lbs)
- Verify that all bolts are now at 144 inch pounds (12 ft-lbs)
