    4L60E Flywheel Dust Cover

    I'd like to put a dust cover on the 4L60E. The one I had on the 700R4 will not fit -- hole pattern doesn't match and it's not the correct form factor. The 4L60E casing is pre-98 (it's a PerformaBuilt Level II). FWIT, the engine is a BBC (454). I've searched on-line but can't seem to find...
