...This 'Timing Cover Plate' has been hanging on the wall in My Garage for 24 years. It' off the original 351 Cleveland. When I purchased and built-up a second block, I left this plate of and purchased a New one.
Now I have a 'Model' of the Exact Bolt Pattern, I have to Adapt the Shorty Windsor Pump, Too. The pump is due to arrive tomorrow (Monday
).
This endeavor will either GO!! Or NO GO! I'm in it for a few bucks, all returnable. In the Very Least...I will be able to Answer Long Standing Questions, asked over Benches and Bar Tables...for Decades!!
Ladies and Gentlemen, may I introduce one of the First FLAT Pantera 'Hatches'! This 1/8" Aluminum Sheet will be trimmed to Snap right in. But 1.0" proud of the original mounting face with Square Tube.
Looks as if I will be Machining the Pulley as the 'Flat' Pulley, may be too large in Diameter.
Enjoy the pics, I'll get back to you to tomorrow. The Pump with the Blue Impeller is the Cleveland pump for comparison, and it, ofcourse does Line up with the Plate. The Last Picture is of the Windsor 'Shorty' Pump.
