Default 2-piece Timing Cover vs Water Pump.

Anybody know if one of the 2 Piece Timing Chain Covers will fit under the C4 Water Pump ? Or any other Water Pump for that matter ? I have never used one before and it would make a future Cam change easier. I need to buy a Timing Cover no matter what.

I bought the cloyes two piece, but this is on a 540 big block. Works for me.

I guess I should of mentioned that this is a L98 replacement 383 build. I see some of the aftermarket covers are saying that the water pump might need to be spaced forward.

I think spacing the water pump forward could cause pulley alignment problems, I’m sure others will chime in. Good luck.
