What engine?

If it is a 351M/400 you can use a screw in pipe plug for the port in the intake manifold.

If it is a 302/351W then make a plate and a gasket from gasket material and bolt it back on.

Just found out, Trick flow makes a plug for the heads. Part number TFS # 51400265. Summit has it for under $3.00.

I took the emissions off of a 460. The plugs in the front of the heads were bad so I went to Napa and they looked in thier book and got the right size plugs. $2.00 for all 4, and no more problems.
