EGR block off plate?

[drewzx3]

Does anyone sell them? I think I have heard that a fuel pump block off from a 351C will work is this true?

Yes that is true. I was gonna use one but removed the whole egr assembly. I bought a plug from ebay that plugs into the connector so the computer thinks that the egr is still there. I then cut off the ear where egr mounted to for clearence and tapped the hole on the intake where the egr was mounted and plugged it.

It will, used one on Andy's build about a month ago.

I traced it onto some gasket paper and made my own gasket.

tapping the hole ant plugging it sounds like a cheap and great idea, but if you want to really jimmy rig it just fill the hole with jb weld.

Seems easy to go some a small sheet of aluminum and make it yourself.

Would someone remind me what the benefit of the EGR delete is???

Less crap under the hood, and one less thing to cause problems. Thats why I deleted it...

You will lose gas mileage by deleting it. It will also have to be turned off in the PCM or the EGR system tricked into thinking it is there.

That being said, it is one less thing to deal with and cleans things up under the hood.

i have one that i don't need anymore. if you are interested in it, email me at [email protected] and we can work something out

of course, you will also have to plug the other opening, in the exhaust header, if you have one. i have the nut for that too

you can use a penny to plug up the header hole. just cut the pipe off the factory nut, put a penny in there and tighten it down.

Thats what I did. I also used a piece of tubing to block it off.

I also got another intake where the person used a 3/16 thick plate and rtv to seal it. lol

I'm going to be running ford racing gt40p headers so there aint a hole for it. The egr is already deleted out of my tune but I still have on there just havent taken it out yet. Hope to do my head swap within the next couple of weeks.

Just some info for you if needed: http://www.allfordmustangs.com/techarticles/Smog2.pdf

Note: if you have AFR heads the bolt size is 5/8-11.

Also, I used a 5/8" npt nut (brass cap) from lowes for exhaust header with high temp silicone.

does it still effect gas millage even if you turn it off in a tune?

Yes, by getting rid of it, you are no longer circulating the exhaust gasses for a re-burn - so that "free" charge is being lost and you are using more gas from your tank as a result.
