This is from my manual. However, I torque mine to 34 lb-ft and call it good. Haven't lost one yet.
The Nm and lb-ft are off column so read it as 33 + 60° for lb-ft
Torque Specifications
Description Nm lb-ft
Pressure plate to flywheel bolt (3.8L) 33 24
Pressure plate to flywheel bolts 4.6L (2V) 45 + 60° 33 + 60°
Pressure plate-to-flywheel bolts 4.6L (4V) 45 + 60° 33 + 60°

33+60 is the spec
However 33 lbs plus 60 degrees is going to put your torque around 55-60 lbs and that is too much
I am with weendoggy and torque mine to about 35
I also have never seen torque to yield bolts in a ford pressure plate
That does not mean they do not exist
I didn't see where they want the bolts replaced each time
Use grade 8 or 10.9 bolts and be done with it
