Hot Rods Nicson marine timing chain cover and motor mount

I bought a Nicson marine timing chain cover front motor mount used in boats sold as a small block chevy. I got it today , It's not for a chevy small block or big block or my 409. It has a casting number does anybody know what a 300-06 fits. Maybe someone has a old catalog? Is there a part number for a small block chevy ?

 

At 78 years old I can not run the computer well enough to send
pictures . there is a Hamb member in Ohio goes by the name of Little Man , he has a channeled model A coupe with a 392 hemi and is using a nicson timing chain cover and motor mount in it.This is where i got the idea for my 1923 T track roadster build

 

He isn't a regular poster and his website link on his profile page says it can no longer be reached.

 

Just plugging your ***le into search got this site.

It looks like they just s****e Ebay ads, but it's worth a try to match the part number.
For instance, one of the listings is this 300-9a for a Windsor.

Doing a quick search there found a BBC 300-16

Doing more looking should net you a matching listing.

 

Thanks that tells me it's not a big block. won't fit my small block, what other timing chain cover looks like a small block but bigger

 

Possibly early Cadillac? I was building a model of a blown Cadillac engine for a g***er '33 Willys like the early version of Ohio George's Cadillac powered coupe so I looked up a moon timing cover

 

37gas, does it look like this one? This is 401 Buick nailhead.

 

Lot of choices for marine stuff from Nicholson.
My guess is Oldsmobile if it's from the 70's or early 80's.
Lot of jet boats ran them.
Followed by 460 Ford.

 

@37gas If you click on the BBC link I posted, it's NOT a boat mount, just a FI front cover. Look at the listings and you should find a similar one to yours. The numbering system seems to be just in order of when they were made, not to ID the brands they fit.

300-11 is BBC mount

Here is a forum showing 1982 catalog pages (no 300- prefixes) and a SBC mount as 300-17

I know you just want the answer to your question, not all this other stuff. I wasn't able to find that, sorry.

 

Found it's for a 392 hemi when I bough it I was told it was for a small block chevy. I need a small block chevy if any one has one let me know THANKS for the help Hemi cover for sale or trade. Seller won't take it back

 

Yes, I found a picture of a 392 hemi and it is the same thing part number 300-06 seller says no returns.

 

well now you have to build a hemi.
