My "top secret" machinest made this. Any interest and I may get him to tool up. My pictures don't do it justice. $350 range. Maybe less with quantity.

Hmmm....this looks strangely familiar to a version I'm working on for 429/460 Ford...:idea: did you see those pic's, Fiat?
PM'ing you...
LO
p.s. Fiat, I particulartly like the fact that the front seal is servicable without removing the front plate. Smooth move...:cool:

That's bad ass. I like gofast's idea too.
You could do two different covers. One for a fuel pump and one for a water pump.

Little inside joke there. I don't believe there is a machine or machine operation be it industrial or automotive that this man cannot perform. If there is anyone who has "been there, done that" in the machine industry, this is the guy. Combine that with years of hands on drag racing and engine building and you can see he's quite a guy.
Saved my race motors more times than I can count.
Very selective of who he will do work for. Yet has more than he can handle. And that is why I am sworn to secrecy. :D

I know of a similar piece, pretty sure the one I can get does not need the balancer removed. Anyone interested can PM or email, and I will get a price.

I can see the direstion this thread is taking, and it wasn't my intention.
I should have said....
BITCHEN part, well made, too bad I wasn't given a look at that part. If Big Block Dodges weren't goofy, and I wasn't running a Jesel, I would have built one similar.
Are we going to see it at Needles?

Sure is nice if you're driving off the front and you want to change cams!..I also made a frame with ears for the water plumbing!..:cool:
