That will work.All the 8 fin covers have the oil passage in the same place.There may be detail differences that the AMCA guys will know about,but nothing that will interfere with function.By the way Dan,how is Dazzle? :wink:

Nope.

The '40 cover is unique in that it has both fins and a large boss in the middle like '36-39 covers.
