Default 2 piece front cover

I saw a 2 piece front cover the other day somewhere on the web, but I can't remember where

It would allow you to change cams without removing the steering rack or balencer. Anyone know where I can find one?

Hands down the best two piece cover is the one made by QTP. It is cut from solid aluminum billet, not a re-welded stock unit. This is an extremely high quality piece, period.

PM EB02Z06. He has a source for cut/welded stock units. I have one but haven't installed yet.

I see people saying it makes things a lot easier but having never done a cam swap, can someone tell me the time savings we're talking about here. I have no idea how long it would take to R&R the steering rack and the balancer. Just wanting to make sure the savings justifies the price of admission. Thanks.
