<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Something similar on the four cylinder block. I am sure there is factory cover for this opening in the block, but I did not have one with the block that was given to me as a basis for my engine build. David at British Car Specialists makes up plates just for this purpose. Unless you are doing a concours restoration, David's plate will work just fine. In fact I just installed mine. Here it is before painting.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Mike MacLean<br></div><div><br></div>

On the side of the block there is a mounting point for a fuel pump just to the left of the SP casting mark. It looks like versions of this engine block used in other cars had a cam driven fuel pump. I am interested to know the size of the hole in the block for the cam driven pump and if BMC ever supplied a blanking plate to cover the hole. Part number appreciated if it exists.</span></p></div><div><p class="yiv0441385083MsoNormal"> </p></div><div><p class="yiv0441385083MsoNormal"><img id="yiv0441385083_x0000_i1026" src="cid:MX8AQwlrvc1p1MhOLwTR" yahoo_partid="1.3" width="1068" height="763" border="0"></p></div><div><p class="yiv0441385083MsoNormal"> </p></div><div><p class="yiv0441385083MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;">Thanks in advance....
