Tracy,
I took another look at the third gen front cover on
a 2nd gen motor. It seems to cut the corners when compared to the outline
of the 2nd gen pan. i think it would be easier to modify the pan then to
find a 3rd gen pan with holes that don't line up. 3 holes in the 3rd gen
cover line up with the 2nd gen pan. The plug side looks like you could
weld one hole shut and re drill. The intake / exhaust side looks like you
could weld a flange in the corner of the pan extending the flange inboard,
backfill the space between the flange and the pan with JB Weld and re drill
2 holes in new locations. The two bolts going in these holes would need to
be longer and a curved spacer would be need to distribute the pressure from the
back side of the head of the bolt to the curved pan surface.

Most holes but not all will line up.
I have 2nd gen pan
on a 3rd gen front side housing on my 20B (a real "bastard" of an
engine.

with 3rd gen front cover ..................
