Thanks again guys. I chased out all the threads and they were in great shape. Unfortunately I haven’t heard a thing back yet in regards to the pics I forwarded.

Yours looks beautiful compared to mine LK. I have such a sloppy radius on that one side where yours looks like a much sharper angle as cast. I don’t mind cleaning up the flashing on the top of the ports because I can basically see enough of the actual cast edge below them (I’d know where to stop). The material on the side I’d hate to just hog into with a die grinder.

What makes this worse is that I only picked this up because the cover that was on the ‘72 block in my car was shot so I ordered this new KRE cover and FlowKooler pump. Once I later found out that block was a huge paperweight I fortunately found a matching year ‘68 block (thanks Paul K) and have a nice ‘68 cover. Not sure if I should just grab a different pump and cut my losses if KRE doesn’t step up.
