Be more descriptive of what you are asking. Im not sure what you are asking

I see the base for the distributor and oil filter and something lower and between the two. What are you referring to?

It looks like there is an aluminum? Painted? part shown on the bottom of the picture.

Maybe it is just something laying on the table below the block..??

The block is sitting on a lot of stuff, and the picture angle shows mostly the top. Could you take a closeup picture of the bottom area or circle the area that you're talking about?

I found these pictures online. Here is another picture. I think the silver is a very nice paint job. The back block surface of the timing cover with the 3 holes showing is what I was asking about. Maybe I've never seen one this clean???

Here is a picture from the front view.

That, and the front block plate does NOT have the Audax body motor mount extensions. I'll guess that is a UK based engine and it's for an Arrow/Hunter based car.
