I have a 2001 5.3 running a 350 turbo transmission. I bought a universal dust cover for a 350 turbo and it just won't fit. The starter is the main issue. I've modified it and if I cut any more metal away to clear the starter there won't be much left to support that side of the cover. The cover still needs to go up further to get the bolts in but the starter is still hitting. I cut away the piece that goes between the engine and transmission as there were bolts on the tranmission that were interfering. Is there a cover out there for sale that will work for my application? I been driving without one for 1 1/2 years and probably don't need one but recently I've been hearing a noise that sounds like maybe a rock or some road debre has been caught in that area and ginding around for a few seconds. I don't hear the noise every time I go out. Just ocationally.
