Hello all, Cody here. Got a question about predator 212 non hemi side covers. I am putting together a non-hemi I have kept on the shelf for about 8 years. Going with a high torque low compression setup, something to cruise around with. Now, I lost the side cover a long time ago and can't seem to find one for sale. I can't afford a billet side cover as I'm scrapin' to get by. and it will never see revs over 6000, so no need for the high dollar stuff. My question is: will a side cover from a hemi or from a Tillotson work on a non-hemi block? the bolt pattern looks the same and honestly can't tell a difference. If something like journals is different, I can machine sleeves to fit or drill it out. So, tldr, Will a hemi side cover fit a non-hemi block? I want to put this together with as little money as I have.
