Yeah i'm not really understanding the issue here. You bolt the block-off plate to the flange on the header. Simple.

I used some 20 guage sheet metal, 2 bolts, 2 nuts.

Done... Don't make it harder than it is and don't overthink it.

I have some stainless straps used to hang duct work out in the field. I made a couple out of that for my 98 car.

I took a narrow file and slightly elongated one of the holes on the header. Then used nuts and bolts. Took about 15 min.
