P2 lower timing belt cover on P80?

Post by 850oldschool »

9135040 is (of course!) NLA. The P2 version 30731950 is still available brand new for about 55 bucks. They look reasonably similar in the pictures and drawings. Probable adaptations would be for the different tensioner and the top cover. Getting the P80 top cover to fit on looks the most troublesome, since the P2 top cover looks way different.

Have any of you hot rodders who mix and match engine components from different eras tried this?
