Most finned valley covers can be milled down in the center to allow the use of the dual quad intake. 

Y's guys rule!
Looking for McCullouch VS57 brackets and parts. Also looking for 28 Chrysler series 72 parts. And early Hemi parts.

It might but STRONGLY discouraged as the intake will overheat and crack the bottom at the exhaust crossover.

On topic with valley covers... does anyone know if Mummert's valley cover will allow a 2x4 intake? Is the recess deep enough? Any aftermarket covers have a deep enough recess?

I used Permatex number 2 (non hardening) sealer on the block and cover. Worked great but when the RTV came out I switched as it works as good, is easier to apply, and, to clean off my fingers.

A lot of the time you can bend the cover on installation , just gotta be mindful

But try to remove the gasket if you have to take the cover off.

My solution to the problem is to get Mummert's valley cover.  Got one on two cars.

The other solution is to drill holes on the cover and block at the corners (threading the block holes).

Back in the day when these engines were built, there were no rubber gaskets or silicone sealer.  They used cork gaskets and "Monkey Snot".   Monkey snot is 3M yellow weatherstrip adhesive. To properly use this adhesive, coat both sides, let dry to the touch and put the gasket in place. You can glue an oil pan in place with this stuff.  If you use new cork gaskets and this adhesive, the gasket won't move around and you won't have leaks.
