Re: B/RB Chrysler Valley Pan Bolt Pattern Dimensions
You can cut down big block high deck brackets to fit low
deck . You can fab or buy aftermarkets from 440 Source. Be sure there is clearance for intake to heads to fit properly. |

Re: B/RB Chrysler Valley Pan Bolt Pattern Dimensions
Yes........They are a pain to use.... at least the one piece ones.
You have to pull off a head to get it of to access the lifters and cam. I am not sure if they fit std. heads as I have only used them with Indy Heads. 440 Source make several different ones- also at a reasonable price as well. I just use the stock tin ones on most application and trim the Head area to use paper gaskets and buy Beer for a Month on the Savings. |

Re: B/RB Chrysler Valley Pan Bolt Pattern Dimensions
Okay, its funny how things can seem simple to you but not to others lol. Anyway, here is a picture of a valley pan to help connect the dots so to speak.
In the schematic I laid out the basic bolt layout of the valley pan and drew a line through the centers so as to indicate they sit on an angle. Imagine my schematic laid over the pic of the valley pan where the wholes line up with one another. This should make things more clear.
