THANKS..
No block, going to bolt it on flat. I had to grind out obout 1/16'' of the back side to fit over the high spot were the water pump would be, if it had one... Im trying to keep it lighter then the stock cover... I started to make one out of 1/4 plate Diamond plate aluminum but it was heaver then the stock cover, so this one is 3/16 Diamond plate aluminum...

What did you use to make the pattern? Just trace the old cover? And how'd you cut it so clean?

I used the old cover as a pattern, but there was a gap on the radius part so i made a new one with extra material and kept cutting a little off at a time to make it fit good... I used a band saw to cut it and a die grinder with a drum sander head and a angle head die grinder with a 2'' sanding head for the fine tuning..
