I had a similar problem with the trans braces for my Demon. Bought a pair of chrome ones & only 1 side fit...:banghead:
What is the length on your left side brace?
sorry to hear you are having problems with these
a little extra info on them, they came off a 1975 360 with a 727 behind it
I intended to re use them but they interfered with my headers
I wonder if maybe you have them upside down ?
(I know when I first installed them I had that issue)
hopefully we can get this sorted out
i came across this on a google search

post # 140615 sounds like it might contain a clue
he claims he swapped a 318 out for a 360 and his (318) brace was about an inch too short
sounds like the exact opposite problem you have
now (I'm just thinking out loud here) if the oil pan is different between the 318/340 and the 360 maybe ma mopar moved the mounting boss for this brace around a bit aswell?
The problem is the drivers side brace is for a newer block and you have an older block. They changed the pad location in the mid 70's. Not positive but I think it was 74 when they changed
Hi Tracy! ding ding ding. Thank you for validating that for us.
That's what we were thinking.
Guess, I'll be on the look out for an early style brace.
man that sucks
any chance you can massage it a bit, redrill the hole and cut it down to fit?
(unless of course you don't want too, which i totally understand)
keep us posted
Just toss it, nothing will happen

I simply cut mine to fit and re-welded it. Then only to throw them out when I put my TTI headers on.
Chevies don't use them, and they only have 1/2 a bellhousing, like was said, it wont make any difference if they are there.
x2,cant use em with headers, so i never use em.never noticed a diff. without them.
Brian, I will take them if AIV doesn't want them.
