Our new line of EXTRA THICK oil pans was such a success, we decided to offer timing covers as well. This cover is an exact reproduction of Chrysler part number 2658454, which was used on all big block engines from 1966-72, making it the desired cover for nearly all muscle car applications. And since all big block timing covers are interchangable, it will fit any big block of any year.

However, with this version, we welded on an additional triangular REINFORCEMENT PLATE (also made from the same .083" thick steel) with SIX heavy duty spot welds. The purpose of this is to strengthen the cover for all ROLLER CAM applications which use a cam button that puts extra pressure against this area of the cover.

We have made these directly from the original Chrysler OEM drawings, ensuring they are 100% accurate in every way. These include the original welded on timing tab with timing marks in 5 degree increments, so there is no need to purchase an additional tab like there is with the aftermarket covers. But, more importantly, we stamp these from our EXTRA THICK steel. Factory Chrysler timing covers, and the "made in Taiwan" reproductions on the market are usually made out of steel which is about .049" thick. We've reproduced these in our EXTRA THICK steel, which is about .083" thick, or about 70% thicker than normal. The extra thickness not only helps to keep the cover more rigid to support the cam, but it also keeps the gasket rails straight and flat, and holds the seal straight and round, and exactly where it should be. These are supplied in a in a very nice black electroplated finish, the same process used in modern replacement body parts. Can be installed as-is or painted if desired. We guarantee these will be the strongest, heaviest, and nicest cover you've ever seen!

It's a common issue on Mopars to have the rear of the oil pan making contact with the centerlink. This is known to be a very "tight fitting" area, and is often due to aftermarket oil pans being made deeper than stock ones, aftermarket engine mounts being thinner than OEM factory ones- which causes the engine to sit lower, past collision damage, incorrect parts, or even just plain old "sloppy" production tolerances from back when the cars were thown together on the assembly lines. And then, if you are running a windage tray, or especially a Main Girdle Plate, it drops the pan down EVEN FARTHER!! Our new dropped centerlink is just the solution! We've reproduced the factory centerlink to 100% OEM specs, except the center part which goes directly underneath the oil pan has been "dropped" by 3/4" inch, to give you a bunch of extra clearance under the oil pan. Click on the extra picture to see the two parts compared together in the same picture. These are also usable as a service replacement item if you just need a brand new centerlink (even if you don't necessarily need the additional oil pan clearance.) As far as we are aware, these are the only 100% NEW MANUFACTURED centerlinks currently available on the market. A long awaited solution to an age old problem!

These replace factory part number 2535877, which is very similar to the 1962-70 B Body centerlink (factory part number 1858015 or our dropped version, 200-1175)  , except one side of the link "kicks out" because they changed the angle of the steering box slightly on the K-member. If you click on the additional pictures, you can see our scans of the two bars, and easily what the difference is. In the first picture, you can see both bars laid next to each other. The grey bar is the early one (200-1175), and the blue bar is the later one (200-1188.) In the second picture, both scans are laid "on top" of each other, so you can see the exact difference of how one side "kicks out" farther.
