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. Nice work, but did you consider making it a 2 piece? Or make it with a removable panel to be able to work in the lifter valley without pulling a head.

Or make it with a removable panel to be able to work in the lifter valley without pulling a head. If you cut it right. You pull the bolts slide if forward and it will come right up. This is only on tall decks. On short decks the plate sits over the heads. Leon Career best 8.02 @ 169 at 3050# and 10" tires small block power.

Problem is after it's been stuck in place with sealer. It only took us 1 time of removing the plate out of an Indy headed B/B to cut the plate into a 2 piece. Don't get me wrong - it's a beautiful piece and I am in no way trying to knock it's quality. I was just asking about making it in a 2 piece version - I may be changing my combo in the future and may need a valley plate made. Free advice and worth every penny...
