I was planning to swap the water pump over with all the rest of the external parts, I assume that it fits?

No - the 803 pump won't fit a 1098. At least - it's not a straight swop - it 'may' be possible to make it fit - but I'm no expert on the 803 engine. But honestly - once painted up - it will not be too obvious.

At least it doesn't have '950' cast in the side as a dead give-away......
it will have a raised boss that holds the '1100' tag to the block - the boss will take more time to grind away than the "950".
If you shop around, you can get versions with and without the mechanical fuel pump blank plate.

or you could put a blanking plate on even though there is nothing to blank off?

I already have the engine now. The "boss" will have to go and holes drilled and tapped for the missing plate bolt and breather tube support.
