mechanical fuel pump

So I have a Vortec block with the machined housing for a fuel pump. My issue is no hole to access cam lobe.
I would like to drill to accept the pump.
Has anyone done this?

Its a bit more than drilling the hole. It does not look like the hole is cast the same in the side of the block on the one I have. Would need to fins a good size mill to put it in. Its got to be dead on.

Read carefully, Call them (Like it says in the description).

Here's a video of the same kit being used.

Re: mechanical fuel pump

I have seen the jig, expensive.
My block has all the machining ,it even has a hole .
It's on the letf side
But the hole is not open all the way through
There is someone on YouTube just drilling his way through, looks a little cave man.
That is what I was thinking about doing.
