Here is a link to Tim Olson's RV-10 site with the torque values for AN bolts.

Download this file, it is waaaay cool. Once you run the file, select Torque Chart tab then select aircraft. It has all the torques listed for the specific bolts.

You may not need a torque wrench
Jeff,
I don't know about your engine mount but my conical mount has no torque spec. You tighten the bolts until the mounts are compressed to set length.
Yours may be different but you might want to look into that. The exact length was included in the bag the mounts came in.

I found "The Illustrated Guide to Engine Hanging" archived here on the vansairforce.net a help in bolting my engine to the engine mount. You should be able to retrieve it using this link.

For the rubber engine vibration mounts it is next to impossible to get a torque wrench on the nut and trying to set the torque from the bolt end isn't practical. Per Van's RV6 Builders Manual and also Tony Bengellis "Firewall Forward" book the standard procedure is to tighten the bolts until they bottom out on the internal spacer in the rubber biscuit, then put in a cotter pin in the castellated nut.
