I've used my 98 cover on the newer blocks with no problems. The 98 is actually a heavier made cover if you ask me.

i don't see why not. i have a 98 tore down at the moment and called myself looking it over pretty good and didn't see any reason why u couldn't swap back and forth.

Why not run down to the local deal and ask to compare both ?

Can you modify the gasket ?

I would not modify the gasket. They are cheap enough, so get the correct one.
