Gary Lewis Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

85lebaront2 Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Let me just pull that out of my back pocket...... Insert the proper die and extrude one. Dan Lee is trying to find the one he had with an extra block plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted April 16, 2019 Author Share Posted April 16, 2019 Let me just pull that out of my back pocket...... That could be painful, Ray. Don't sit down. Anyway, it goes here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David - I'm pretty sure that's the one I have from a small block, and it is too large. But thanks anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should look like this one? https://www.ebay.com/itm/FORD-351-400-AUTOMATIC-C6-TRANSMISSION-BIG-BLOCK-STARTER-INDEX-MID-SPACER-PLATE/133006516266?hash=item1ef7ce602a:g:~uAAAOSwLgFcnkxl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary, let me dig in my extra parts buckets tomorrow and see if I still have a loose cover like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
