Well, I got her all back together finally and she is running just fine. To torque the crank bolt I took off the 3 nuts for the engine mount arm, put a piece of wood under the oil tank and while the engine didn't lower past the studs on the engine mount I had enough room to get the torque wrench in there and then had my youngest son put the breaks on hard while in 5th gear, got her to clik at 85 ft lbs. Here is a couple of pics with the belt back on before I was able to torque it down. Man, glad that all worked out. I was worried about lowering the engine to do this but it all worked out. I torqued the mount nuts to 34 ft lbs, should they be torqued down more than that? Thats what I could make out from the manual but seems low.
