I just don't know though. Hopefully I can learn something new

You're looking at it wrong.. BBC and SBC water pumps are NOT interchangeable.. Some of the SBC engines in the larger trucks had a bypass running from the intake manifold just below the thermostat to a nipple installed in the water pump where that plug is on your pump...
