5.3 to a TH350 dust cover?

I tried installing the original TH350 dust cover and it will not fit in between the oil pan and flywheel. I think with some trimming it may fit but i was wanting to see what route others took to solve this issue.

I've seen plastic/composite dust covers you can trim to fit. I left mine off as it's a "street truck" it would be nice if they made one that bolted into the ls oilpan.

Re: 5.3 to a TH350 dust cover?

I went for the "run without it" option too.

Given it's right after election day, I bet you could make a pretty good dust cover by hacking up a political campaign sign. They're made of a surprisingly tough plastic.
