Its a Carter electric pump. And yes, you can get a fuel pump block off plate from probably the same have you end up getting the fuel pump from. Some are plain steel, others chrome, billet, etc.
Personally I wouldn't use one of those clunky old farm truck trannys when there are so many (cheap) overdrives that bolt to a small block Ford. I've used a couple of the ZF 5 speeds and love them. They are an internal juice clutch and pretty easy to hook up to a clutch master cylinder. The lighter duty Mazda 5 speeds are cheaper and easier to find but I dislike the really high reverse gear. You''l smoke the clutch trying to back a trailer up an incline.
