I race an ITA RX-3 in SCCA SEDIV events. Early last season, the bell housing bolts backed out during an event, and the rear plate of the motor developed a small crack before we got the bolts retorqued. Later in the season the crack grew. As I am getting ready to go to my first 04 race, I decided to pull the engine to see how bad the crack really was. Well, the upper passenger side section of the rear plate to bell housing mounting tap came out as a separate piece
Welding is not an option, and this is an early 73-74(larger ports) 12A. So, I can either find an early rear plate to replace this one, or I could buy a whole new motor, if I could find an early one.
Thanks

I'm in north Alabama. Please let me know what you find. Thanks for the tip about 79-83 rear plate, didn't realize they had the large ports! In fact, I think I may have one of those in the junkpile in the garage - time to scrounge.....
