Default 4L65e holes in inspection area

I have my 5.3 and 4L65E swap in and running. One thing I can't seem to find are plugs/covers for the two holes in the bottom of the bell housing. One hole is about 2 inches or so and the other is maybe 1/2 to 5/8 of an inch. I can't seem to find plugs or covers for those holes. Does anyone know part numbers for these two things? Monster Transmission doesn't carry them and they're who I got my transmission through (stage 2.5 up to 750 horse) and they claim it's a dealer only item. Everyone else keeps trying to sell me the traditional universal inspection covers that fit the th350/th400/700R4 type of inspection areas and those don't fit the 4L65E that I have.

Because you searched 4L65E and the part was listed under 4L60E.

Here is the ACDelco/ GM part numbers.

Will do. I had one before in my 2003 Silverado SS. I broke an accumulator in that one, but those are notorious for breaking when you run higher than stock pressures. The stock ones in early models were plastic, and the later ones are cast aluminum. Aftermarket has billet ones and once I put one of those in, no more issues. I ran that thing pretty hard with the 6.0 running E85 tune and bolt ons, maybe 450 horse area and a ST3000 Yank converter restalled to 3200. That AWD launch and second gear bark was brutal!!!

This time it will be more HP and TQ for sure, but only 2WD and I'm not going to be able to hook it for a while. After the turbo is installed, I'm done on the truck for a while and will be putting a twin turbo on my 2014 Mustang track pack and the truck will be the DD for at least a year, so I won't be running crazy boost numbers at least until the Mustang is back on the road.

You're right, when I searched the other day they didn't come up. Now they do come up with the 4L65E too, so they must have "fixed" it for me LOL! Thanks for the part numbers. I will need more some day.
