Deleting the stock fuel pump, this is the block off plate that the googler spit out.

Does this get the job done or are there other recommendations out there?

I believe so. Don't remember part number off hand, but I grabbed one off the performance wall of orily for a chebby to do mine. Looked like that one. Someone will correct me if I'm incorrect on that being the correct part number

I think it's simply a big block Chevy block-off plate.

Yes that will work. I've done this a few times and used the same block off plate for a BBC. Never needed any modifications. They should just bolt right in place of the mechanical lift pump.

I used a BB Chevrolet plate and the casting flange on the block held it off so I had to grind mine just a little for it to clear

There are for sure two parts numbers and the one will leak some if you don't grind a small part off. I've had both, they are listed on here somewhere but I can't find it. It's an easy fix if you get the wrong one though, just let the truck idle for 5 minutes and find out before you go driving.

I made my own (too lazy to go to the store and buy one :rolleyes:). Just buy one and match it up with the profile of your old fuel pump. Grind away if needed.
