Have been finding different figures for the supposed torque figures of these engines, i do not want to go through a swap without the right info and expectations.

M60 - figures of 295 @ 4500 or 400 @ 4500 (4L)
M62 - 420 - 440ft.lbf (4.4L)

What are the real numbers?

Both torque numbers were wrong. Even the M5 does not get 400 ft-lbs. Google it.

My favourite source is Wikipedia :

M60:

Fairly extensive.

In short, both produce 282 HP, but torque is 315 for the M62B44, 325 for the M62TUB44*, instead of 295 for the M60B40.
