Hello All, need some help; I'm wanting to install the engine and transmission together. Previous setup was a 318 & 904 transmission, now I have a 360 &904. Not sure how the 360 & 904 mount. I have all the hardware, should I have the flex plate attached to the trans as shown? Also what I have the 6 bolts attached to the engine, not sure what they are supposed to be holding. Since I went from a 318 to a 360 is the attachment different? Maybe some pictures might help me, the FSM doesn't really help. Thanks.

Jut to add my engine builder said when previously asked that "It's balanced internally requiring no weight on the flex plate".

Flex plate is attached to the crank first and torqued. Mating 318 & 360 to trans should be the same. Flex plate is attached to torque converter from underneath then install the dust cover. All this will have to be done while the engine is hanging from a lift.

Make sure when you remove the retaining bracket and flex plate that you don't allow the tq to come forward or it will disengage from the pump and the trans won't mate up.
