LT1 EGR block off plate?

I was wondering if any aftermarket companies manufacture an EGR block off plate for the LT1? Right now I just have the stock piece and I cut off the metal tubing that runs to the exhaust manifold and capped it with a rubber cap and a hose clamp. It works but I would like something more professional...

Make one from some aluminum plate. Use 5/16" or thicker.

You can just use some sheet metal and gasket material or sealant to block off the piece on the intake manifold

I have that intake setup...he just makes plates out of 1/8" aluminium and seals them up real tight with RTV...works really well.
