Looking for a stock if possible and not aftermarket TH350 dust cover that will clear the larger flexplate 168 tooth I think.

If only after market is available, post up anyway.

I'm in Arizona
 
I have a couple of them from 1 piece rear main seal motors. $25 plus shipping and I'll include hardware as well.

I'm not sure what rear main seal I have , does it matter? It's "hencho en Mexico" 350

It does. The cutout for the 1-piece rear main needs to bigger. I tried modifying my 2-piece rear main dust cover and while it bolted in, it still rubbed on the flexplate so I'm wondering if the difference is even more than I realized.
 
Which sparked my search for stock. The aftermarket ones, people talk about having to cut the starter spot out and shimming where it attaches to the transmission to clear the flexplate
 
I wonder if mine was stock or a replacement. It was made with plastic. Did the factory covers come that way, or were they all metal?
 
I sorry I forgot to look will look right now. If I have any they will be 2 piece rear main, Or gen 1. Going to go out on a limb and say you have a two piece rear main.
 
Yes this will work with stock starter.

I have a th350 I should check this on that trans. Now that I think about where this cover came from. I am not sure if might be for a power glide.
 
Fits a th350
For squarebody trucks, TH350, TH400, and 700R4 covers are the same. The only difference is 2wd tin/steel vs 4x4 cast aluminum and the 2-piece vs 1-piece rear main cut out (also diesel). The larger cut out for a 1-piece rear main is backwards compatible for a 2-piece.

Yes sir, I didn't see power glide in that list. I have had more than a few power glide cars, apart swapped, parted out. Plus there is 1 or 2 2004R in my stable. So just precaution to check.
