Gotta love Moparts......Thanks everyone for the ideas. BG's idea seems to fit my situation very well.

I only suggest it because we have done it on every engine we have done with the solid plate and the two piece plate.Even with the two piece Indy plate it is hard to inspect and remove the roller lifters through the removable plate.We have not experienced any leaks if properly sealed.We have seen leaks at the block rails when people try and slide the plate in place.Just cut enough that the plate can be started at a 45 degree angle and dropped in and make sure each corner is sealed.We have been doing it this way for over 12 years.
