Never looked. Is there a reason why you need it?
I'd guess it's standard across any car with the same size plugs, but in any case they shouldn't be FT!

It's a cast-iron head, so there is not much danger of stripping a thread. The 13 ft. lbs. indicated in @B y r o n 's post is probably sufficient, but a bit more is not going to hurt. I think I've used 21 ft. lbs. in the past, but I don't remember where I got that number. I always use a dab of anti-seize on mine.
I just use a short handle ratchet to tighten them, but I had to use the 1/2 drive impact gun to get several plugs out of a sitting from 2008 Ford 300 I6. Yes I used anti-seize compound on my plugs and on other stuff. I also like Loctite and Aviation Permatex.
