Here's what I have.
Three different styles. Main difference is access cover bolt pattern. You can use your old access cover and/or cracker rig it.

Contact me direct : deadcarnahans@charter.net

Shipping from Missouri to Ohio should be cheap. Give me what ever you think is fair.

the one i have is the third down, left side, sit one of them sturdier ones on top of it and see if all holes align(i think they should of course), unless you reccomend not using the older thicker ones, but they have more openess and less likely to scrape

I like the old thicker steel ones. The critical hole pattern is the same. You could use your old one as a template, then cut away the unneeded portion of the thick one.
I know for a fact that one of these is from a 77 F-150, 300 six / large bell C-4
The 2 on the left are AODs for sure.

How many miles are on your engine? Could the thrust bearing be shot? Allowing the crankshaft to travel fwd and aft.
No doubt you heard it making contact.
Did it contact in neutral, or in a fwd gear?
Something aint right.

indeed ALOT OF THINGS WERE NOT RIGHT, the thrust bearing was non existed and motor had almost an inch of play.

So im in the process of a complete rebuild and should be done Sunday next weekend
