I have no idea what they are or where they go  It's sheetmetal, if you can't tell, and each one is maybe 8 inches wide. One has a little sharper angle bend across the top than the other. They look like some kind of trim pieces or something but I can't figure it out. Any ideas?

The angle of the bend across the top is different on each one?
I think my engine already has a cover, too. These go on the upper half of the bellhousing on the engine side?
The previous owner put a '55 235 out of a car in the truck. I had an extra flywheel cover, too, that didn't fit.

Is that where is goes? | | | | | Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 3,887 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 3,887 | exactly - of the 2 different shapes, one will fit better, but maybe neither is the correct one -
the "top shape" is actually the bottom, mateing to the lower bellhouse pan, the large cutout faces upward
