Ok, I have this 283 engine all ready to go into the car. Nice fresh build, all new parts. I bought a billet aluminum timing cover for it and an aluminum oil pan for it. They look very nice. They both fit on the engine well, but not together. I thought maybe the timing cover was wrong so I got a chrome one from Chevrolet. It fits fine until I tried to put the oil pan on. It still doesnt fit right, it sits about an inch above the block on the timing cover end. So I went and bought a new chrome oil pan but steel this time. Same thing. My question is, was there a difference between the timing covers on a 283? The ugly ass stock one that I took off, fits fine with either oil pan, but the aftermarket ones (Chrome and aluminum) dont with any oil pan. Enlighten me.

Scott I'd have to look to know for sure but I'm thinking its the front rubber seal there are 2 sizes, you should have got 2 different ones in your gasket kit check that and let me know...don't wait cause i'm leaving soon..
