Mercruiser 496 Engine Cover
I have a base model 496 and its missing the plastic cover... Wondering if anyone has one available?? Doesn't matter to me if it is HO or base model... Just trying to help protect the top of the engine.
Thanks
Thanks

I am in the process of a 496 rebuild and do not intend to put the OEM engine cover back on when we are finished. I want to hold onto it until we are finished and running for... reasons. Full disclosure... It has had a small modification done to it to make clearance for the intake ducting involved in installing a ProCharger, but this doesn't expose anything of any real significance. If nobody else has hooked you up by then, you are more than welcome to it. I'll come back here and check in when the time comes.
Thanks. Brad.
