Any autoparts store should have the fuel pump block off plate.

The 460 uses the same fuel pump block off plate as:

200/250/262 I-6's.

221/260/272/289/292/302/330/351W/352/360/361/390/391/406/410/427/428/429 V8's.

Make sure to get the gasket, it's the same one used for the fuel pump. It's also the same for all these engines.

I just went to a junk yard and started looking on the side of chevy and ford BB motors. I think it was a late 80s Chevy that had one and it fit my ford.

a gm part ! that's blasphemy! lol that's interesting that a gm block off plate worked? any ways the stupid auto stores did not carry pins and bushings for my dentside, so i ended up with a universal door pin setup and i think it was a gm chevy universal pins and bushings, it was not a gm part but a another company that made door pins, they did not go back that far in the ford pins, due to the ford hinges being super strong in the 70s compared to the weak cheby ones, heck the passenger side on my truck did not really need them, but it was a little sloppy, and since i was doing the drivers side which was really losey goosey from the previous owners opening and closing the door a million times! just my two cents on gm parts fitting my ford,

There are only a couple of fuel pump bolt patterns. The most common are with the bolts across from each other ot up and down.

Actually, I think my $7.00 460 chrome block off plate may be used by a chevy guy if he's hard up!
