If you use a mechanical fuel pump, I think, it has to be a ford, so look at ford fuel pump block off plates.

I was looking at that mechanical fuel pump location and I was thinking that if the fuel pump diaphragm sprung a leak, fuel would leak inside your motor. Seems like a small oversight unless I am missing something.
