I have an 03 dodge ram that has a blown 5.7 engine so I am going to swap in another from my 05 ram that got totaled.the 05 has an EGR valve and the 03 didn't have one,I thought I would just put a delete kit,block off plate.I have been searching the Internet for hours looking for it and am having zero luck.( I am not interested in the jury rigged method that I've run across.I want the right kit.) Any one know where I can locate the kit that blocks the manifold and the head?

Just use your old intake manifold and make a plate with some sheet metal then a gasket they sell it in rolls or use gasket maker its fairly simple dont know of anyone who makes a plate.

However I am sure someone will post if a pre made plate exsist.

I know they exist,I've seen pics of the kit but I can't find it in anyone's online stores.I really don't want to do the homemade methods.

You may have to find a used one, I think most companies that offered them stopped since the 3rd gen is almost 20 years OOP plus the EPA has been cranky the last few years about people messing with emissions stuff. You might be able to use this one: http://www.modernmusclextreme.com/p...replacement-for-egr-block-off-68478018ad.aspx but I think (based on the shape) that is designed to bolt to the output of the EGR valve and not the port on the head.

Edit: found this one: https://www.3rdstrikeperformance.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=7875, may or may not available
Factory parts were available for this, see if you can find:
