Flexplate orientation/Transmission to engine mounting?

Bronze Barracuda said
So it was definitely an easy hook up after removing that pilot bushing. Thanks all.
Sticking with the whole transmission hook up, would anyone have any pictures of these engine to transmission brackets? I have two sets, I believe there is a difference between the 273/318/340 braces and 360 braces. They are different lengths. I removed one set from a van with a 360 and one set came off my Barracuda 318. I think the passenger side is interfered by the oil filter. Maybe I need to use the oil filter adaptor that points the oil filter rearward?

It looks like you are putting together a four wheel drive truck application, so I would put those brackets back in for added support against flexing.
Not sure about early trucks, but the mid 70s and later trucks don't usually get the oil filter angle adapter. The right side bracket is usually formed or shaped to clear the oil filter. Just try the ones you have and see what works. If it fits it ships.

I will attach pictures of what came off of my 89 Ramcharger, 360 LA with 727 transmission, and no oil filter adapter. It appears the left side bracket is a little shorter than the right side bracket. This was a factory original setup as far as I can tell.
