This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    While I always would prefer to get parts from TA Performance, if you need one now and can't wait, try looking for other covers. Have you tried calling TA and asking for a time frame for availability?

    You may want to call the above to verify they actually have one to ship.

    We have been able to order a new V6-350 timing cover casting. The sample we received looked very nice. Once these get in we hope to start machining these in house. Were making progress. Sorry for the delay in some of our parts. It has been very hard finding CNC and Engine machinist. So that being said, anyone interested or knows someone that can do and interested in these jobs have them give me a call.

    Nice. The 350 I ran in the wagon when I was young has a iron cover on it as well. Marine use.

    I bought a brand new GM cover when I bought the first GS I had it. Still in the box for safe keeping.

    Max Damage I'm working on it!

    I broke one early on in my ownership through sheer stupidity.

    I found another in the wrecking yard at that time (remember those?) It was called Fleury's and was just north of Seattle. I think there is still a Bodyshop in Lynwood with the same name. Maybe it was there yard for the body shop. 30+ years ago.
