1983 K10 SM 465 subject: I have installed a fully dressed Blueprint 350 cruiser engine purchased from Summit Racing. Also required flywheel to accommodate one piece rear main design and starter to accommodate the flywheel. Here is the unknown: BluePrint nor Summit knows of any clutch/dust/inspection cover available. Factory cover does NOT fit one piece rear main and oil pan design. Hours searching. This MUST be a reasonable common swap. Also no answers on supplied/bolted in place Holley mechanical fuel pump as to pump diameter slightly touching the motor mount AND supply line pointing inside the frame rail and not having a return line for dual tanks. I will try factory designed pump. Any advice, VERY APPRECIATED.

You can make your own out of sheet metal or try giving Advanced Adapters a call.

Post some pics of your setup.
#inspection cover: I think you have to modify a non fitting cover.
#fuel pump: You can grind off a little from the fuel pump housing where it rubs.
#fuel pump return: Run a fuel pressure regulator with gauge and return.
