I refuse to pay crazy money for a stamped steel part, so I make it from scratch. The Lifter Valley baffle was missing from my Olds 455.

Hopefully it doesn't rattle. Maybe a rolled bead or two would stiffen it up to avoid that.
Also cheap or free mods include making a crank scraper, grinding away all casting flash and contouring oil drain back holes from the block and heads just to name a small few. Don’t forget oil restrictors in the lifter bores.
You should make more and sell them for $100 on eBay.
It looks very good I would just put lock washer and some loctite to be on the safe side with vibration from engine will not let them loose.
been a while, keep up the good work
Great idea, hope to see more progress soon. I have been here since the beginning and can't wait for the day you drive it out the door.
