Hughes wants you to use the curved flex plate with their adapter, putting the adapter aft of the flex plate. The GM adapter goes forward of the flat flex plate, so you end up with the same spacing.
You are going to need the longer bolts either way, they have to go through the adapter and flex plate on both.
