47-59 *Flex Plate Dust Cover Plate* - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a 2001 5.3 with a 350 turbo transmission in my 49. I bought a universal dust cover that was suppose to fit all 350's and it doesn't fit even after I tried modifing it. The starter is still hitting even with the cutout and the bolt pattern is off. Anyone know if there is a dust cover out there to fit my application?

Just curious- How are you running the 350 turbo with the late model LS? Does it bolt right up?

When I bought the truck it was already set up this way. Looks like it bolts right up just like a 350 block.

I'm going to say that those are designed for pre 86 engines with a 2 piece seal and a 153 tooth ring gear and with anything else it is going to be trim to fit.

Thanks for the info.

Thinking about it, even the stock plastic ones don't always fit right on applications other than the exact setup they were designed for. The " I've got one hanging in the back shed" doesn't always fly there even though it is marked as having come off a Turbo 350.
