M-Block/460 Auto Transmission Inspection Cover

I'm looking for the inspection cover that goes on the engine plate and gives access to the torque converter bolts on an M-block or 460 equipped with an auto tranny.

Insert the proper die and extrude one.  Dan Lee is trying to find the one he had with an extra block plate.

That could be painful, Ray.  Don't sit down.

Anyway, it goes here:

The bolt spacing looks close.

David - I'm pretty sure that's the one I have from a small block, and it is too large.  But thanks anyway.

Cory - I think so.  Here's the one from the advert (do you say "ad" or "advert" in Canada?), cropped and significantly lightened.  And the pic on the right is my spot for one.

The shape looks the same, but I'm supposed to have three screws to hold it on and that one only has places for two.  Obviously I can drill the extra hole, and enlarge them as well since the bolts that are in there look bigger.  But, does that suggest they are different?

And, for $61 to my door, with another engine plate I don't need, I'm not ready to buy it on the chance.  But, I think it may be it.  Thanks.

Gary, let me dig in my extra parts buckets tomorrow and see if I still have a loose cover like that.

Why, yes I do believe that would be said part.  

Does it look like it would fit on Darth?

Let me know what you want for it, please.  And the shipping.

Yes, it matches the one on Darth, which was for a C6 originally, and it matches the plate on the new engine, I looked at both. Cost, you can have it for the cost of shipping, a small flat rate box.

David - Yes, I like it when a plan comes together!

Bill - I just sent you money via Paypal.  Should cover the small box, but if not please let me know.  Thanks!  And, there is no hurry.

You will need to clean it and I'm sure powder coat to match the plate.

Thanks, Bill!  The engine plate is black, so I think I'll PC the inspection plate in Silver Lining and the bolts in black.
