Block-off plate for automatic trans. bellhousing? Question: I've got an LQ9 truck motor and a truck 4L60E transmission that I'm in the process of mating together. On the LQ9 motor, I'm also using an Autokraft oil pan. There are open "spaces" between the engine and the bellhousing on both the driver's and passenger's side (as well as the bottom with the Autokraft oil pan) of the bellhousing. What have you guys used to cover that up? Is there a factory part that could I could order?
Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Use a piece of tin
You may luck out and only have to redrill the mount holes for a T5 or older clutch plate but its such a simple piece, just cut your own
Old auto dust covers will not work

Actually I don't have those, yet. Another member forwarded me those pics when I mentioned I needed something similar. I am pretty sure they are left and right side.
GM direct sells them for about $4 each, but with $15 S&H (bastards). So for less than $25 they are probably worth a try.

I bought those parts for an 02 camaro at the dealer, about $15.
They filled in the space on either side of my LQ9 6.0 mated to a BBC bell housing/ROD trans. I used a vette batwing oil pan that fit flush with the bell housing bottom, so I didn't need an extra piecs to fill between the 2 side pieces listed.
