S/B Chevy Fuel Pump Bloc k Off Plate w/Gasket

The Small Block Chevy Fuel Pump Block Off Plate with Gasket from Racing Power Co-Packaged is an essential component for engine builders converting carbureted small-block Chevrolet engines to fuel injection or eliminating mechanical fuel pump systems altogether. This block-off plate seals the mounting location on the engine block where a mechanical fuel pump would normally attach, preventing oil leakage and maintaining proper crankcase ventilation. Whether you're upgrading to an electric fuel system, switching to a different fuel delivery method, or simply decommissioning an obsolete pump, this steel plate provides a clean, reliable solution that keeps your engine bay organized and leak-free.

Manufactured from heavy-duty steel and finished in durable black paint, this block-off plate is engineered to withstand engine bay heat cycles and vibration without warping or degrading. The included gasket ensures a tight seal against the small-block Chevy engine block, preventing oil seepage at the mounting surface—a critical detail that separates quality components from budget alternatives. Precision machining guarantees proper fitment and alignment with the original bolt holes, eliminating the need for modification or re-drilling. The compact design (3.9 x 0.25 x 8.85 inches) means zero interference with surrounding components, and at just 0.33 lbs, it adds negligible weight while delivering structural integrity that lasts thousands of miles.

This block-off plate is ideal for fuel injection conversion builds, carb-to-EFI swaps, and custom engine projects where mechanical fuel pump elimination is required. Installation is straightforward for experienced mechanics or professionals: simply remove the old mechanical fuel pump, clean the mounting surface, apply the included gasket, position the plate, and secure with the original bolts using appropriate torque specifications. Compatibility is confirmed for small-block Chevrolet engines only—verify engine size before purchasing. Racing Power Co-Packaged components are trusted by engine builders and performance shops nationwide for their reliability and value, making this an affordable, hassle-free upgrade for any serious small-block project.
