I bought this part from TRF a few years back. The one that I bought was
made from stainless steel.
If you want to block things, I'm pretty sure the intake end of things is a
1/2 NPT blug - same as your oil drain plug. You can get a 1/2 NPT plug at
your local hardware store.
The EGR base to the cylinder head is a 3/4-18 machine thread. Buy a bolt
and a soft-ish washer and a lock nut and have at it. I trimmed my bolt to
a fairly short length so that it does not protrude into the exahust path
of the # 5 exhaust port.
It does not look very nice, but it does work. Keep and eye on the EGR plug
to make sure it does not leak hot exhaust gasses on the top of the engine.
