I wonder if it would have to be modified on a 2.8 (which this engine isn't).

Just the area closest to the clamp bolt, it appears.

If the bolt hole is in a slightly difference place on a 2.8, the mod may not be needed.

Perhaps, but it wouldn't get much of a bite on the timing cover.  Moving the bolt hole along the length of the clamp does not allow space for that hump.  Moving the hole closer to the lower edge would only put a corner on the timing cover.

The timing cover came from an early 2.8.  The block bolts are identical to a 2.8.  So, yes, I believe it would need to be modified.

1.    The ones that learn by reading.
2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

Anytime I see a post with a lot of pictures I just imagine GTRS Fiero seeing all those pictures and reacting like the first part of this:

For some reason the video starts at 4 seconds, you have to rewind it to zero to get the full effect.

LOL

It starts at 4 seconds, because of the "time_continue=4" parameter.
