There should have been 2 blockoff pieces made of the same material in the box!!

If your pressed for time you could solder in a piece of sheet metal onto the valley pan to cover the heat riser opening(s). Just make sure you dont fab something too thick which'll hold the intake up. Not likely but just a heads up

Never seen one like that , I have that gasket and it's solid across the heat riser port.

I did, way back (decades) & I'm thinking it was Felpro but wouldn't swear to it and might not even be available
Yep! Felpro... I purchased one a couple of years ago from Napa. Could have been old stock?? But it did have 2 pieces that plugged the heatriser ports.
i got one of those about 2-3 years ago, and the plates that come with the valley pan are way too thick. lucky my current heads don't have the heat crossover.

cut 2 pieces out of your old valley pan. It'd be the right thickness and the right material

(Jegs)...worked with Felpro and determined somehow that Felpro made a mistake and there are dozens of them out there like this!
I just ran into the same problem at Summit with a Zoom clutch kit. The model Zoom I ordered was supposed to be diagphram P.P. and I received a 3-finger. They opened all their inventory - same thing. Hat's off to Summit for immediately rectifying the problem no questions asked, but, it was an extra hassle I didn't need.

That was a Mickey Mouse deal offered through Mopar Perfomance some time back. Useless as titts on a bull.
