Beautiful work. I take it you have access to more than just a hacksaw, cutoff wheel and a die grinder. 
That is small block jewelery right there.

Thanks for the compliments guys.. its always fun to make racecar parts.  Hitman, I was on the fence about using phenolic, probably should have used it, but didnt. Not sure about nylon, I would make sure it could stand the temps. Worst part about phenolic is working with it, yuck.
Yeah that phenolic makes some bad dust
Its awesome stuff, hard as nails, probably the best temp insulator out there, but I have to jump in the shower the minute I get home from working with it. It makes you so itchy. Even if you use coolant, somehow it finds you  .

... In fact I am on another forum marketing a line of .125" plastic gaskets (the last pair of intake gaskets you'll ever need). J.Rob
A non-Mopar forum, I assume? 
Plan to do anything along those lines for BB Mopars?

Jeff it was great to meet you and you probably thought Nylon 'cuz its white. I have a set of black gaskets made that will probably work just as well. J.Rob

How did you get that finish on the valley plate? Did the stock come like that or did you hit it with some sort of abrasive roll/belt sander? If it came like that, what kind of aluminum stock is that?
regular 1/2" 6061. Hit it with some alcohol and scotch-brite.

I made spacers out of Phenolic resin for my 468 small block. The heads were lightened and I needed to seal off the cut out portion of the head. My valley plate is just alluminum with some lightening done underneath. I had to use 3/8 to maintain a seal between the phenolic and the valley tray.
The following year Bishcoff had phenolic spacers on his Engine masters build. I was tickled when he said he had seen it at the track and couldn't remember where. Course I had to let the cat out of the bag and tell him where he saw it.
With enough vacuum I still could loose the seal. So later I fixed the heads.
Nice work
