Rebuild snag!

I have run in to a problem with my rebuild. The stock EGR spacer would not come off of the upper intake. The machine shop used heat and even soaked it in the tank. They had to basically beat it off and its toast. Also, the 4 studs are shot. The throttle body came off with no problem. Ford says that the spacer is obsolete.

So, what are my options, its a SD car and I don't have the funds or desire to convert it to MA.

Hey thanks for the offer. Thats a nice gesture. I just might take you up on that. I am on the westcoast, but my engine is in Kissimmee right now. So coming up to Orlando is not a problem.

What I meant by not wanting to covert to MA, was if I had to go with another intake setup that would require a larger TB, and thus possibly upsetting the SD system. Not interested in going carbed at this point either. I am old school, but love being able to turn the key and go!

Isn't that hi-flow spacer too big to use with the stock 60mm TB?
