I have a Mopar valley cover that could be cut down to work on a low block, however I would rather save it for a 9.56 block I have.
Does anyone sell a ready to run valley cover for a R-3 with a 9" deck?
Thanks, Bill
I couldnt find any to buy... so I milled my own 3/8 thick but milled the center out thinner

Mike, So a flat plate will seal okay, it does not need to be angled on the head side like the Mopar part? Thanks, Bill
It needs the angle... I milled each side to give me the proper width so it lays on each head and the top of the valley I should have taken a pic when I had it finished but I forgot ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif)

I made mine out of 1/8 aluminum but later had to put screws in the sides to help keep it sealed to the head
Thanks, I understand Kent Ritter makes them but I have not had time to call him yet. Bill
