I have tried both the Muscle Motors Bulldog plate and the Hughes 2 piece, and neither one worked AT ALL!. Massive leaks, impossible to seal. The bulldog 2 piece cast cover was 3/16" from the heads on both sides. They said to fill it with silicone, I said they were crazy. I've been very tempted to get the 440source one piece and flex it to get it in without pulling a head. Here's the Bulldog 2 piece: 
11.33 @ 118.46 on motor
10.75 @ 125.35 w/ a little spray

Looking at that valley plate, I'm thinking you could
slot the screw holes and slide it out more but will
need to fill the center area with silicone or weld
on the more lip.... just thinking

I have a homemade 2 piece and that's exactly what I did.

Why wouldnt you just want to use the factory Valley plate?
Much more simple, cheaper, and the heads doesnt capture the plate.

I use a feeler gauge on all four corners, top and bottom, write the actaul measurements on those corners and have a good machine shop cut the intakes as needed 
If you choose to do that let us know your results
