does anyone know where a rear cover plate can be bought for a 2.3 ford?  i seem to have missplaced mine and cannot find one anywhere.  is there a kit i could buy that would have one included?

X2....what "rear cover"? When I hear that I think of a differential cover. If so, I have one on the old diff in the garage to keep  out of it, but it can have a new home easily.

its what ford called the piece that goes between the motor and trans to keep dirt out of the bellhousing and to make sure the spacing is correct between the clutch components.

I may have 2 or 3 sitting in the garage.  I'll have to check.

I believe most people call that a block plate or at least that is what I have often seen it referred to when I was hunting one up for my Coupe.  I have seen them on ebay for cheap and just checked for the 2.3L plates and there are a couple.

I got mine on Ebay, brand new, for about $24.00.
