I can't help you with either of those. I think I've got the block off plate part number for the 4L80e, but not sure.
Most salvage yards throw the covers away, why I don't know. But I talked to several looking for the 80E cover and finally ended up ordering one from GM (and then modifying it heavily to fit my application).
Maybe somebody else can help you.

I saw in my 98 service manual that the V6 cover for the 4L60E app looks like it might work. It's flat and covers the whole area behind the oil pan. I did some hunting on gmpartsdirect.com and a couple of searches but came up empty for a part number. The number I did find is superceded but I can't find the latest. Anyone know what the good V6 cover part number is or where it can be found? Also an S10 cover should work but I couldn't find that number either.

Is there any update on this issue? I am facing the same thing with my Autokraft and t56 combo and i am sure there are more out there. I plan on this being a "fair weather" car... but if you ever get caught in bad weather i wouldnt want anything to get on the clutch
