Has anyone used or know of someone who has used this Valley Plate from Hughes Engines?

at 440source they have different versions for B and for RB and different for single plane or dual plane

i got the one for my B for a dual plane it fit perfectly

i'm not sure if the one size fits all from hughes will give you problems or not

Yeah but the Hughes piece being a two piece can be installed without removing a head....

74yellowduster - I got one of the DP one's from 440 source, and it has a .090 gap in the rail area where it has the box for the cross over. There is NO way that will seal up with silicone!

Looks like a defect, did you contact them about a return/exchange?

Mine wound up in the trash can shortly after I bought them. Your results may vary.

I am curious to know how this turns out with the 440Source one. I have dual plane intake and was thinking about installing one of these. Thanks for the pictures!

my one piece from hughes leaks when i get tired of it i will be destroying it to get it out from under the head without pulling one! the cover with aluminum heads would probably be fine since they have a straight surface on the bottom of the intake face

Mailed it back today, they are going to send me another one, and check that it doesn't have the curves in the rails. I'll post pic's of the replacement once I get it.
