Ok, I removed my smog pump, and now I want to remove this tude that it was attached to. Here are some pics:





What can I plug those (one on each side) wholes on the back of the Heads with? The big one. Is it groved to where I can put a screw in it? What have you guys that have removed it done to plug the wholes? Thanks for the advice.

They sell thermactor plugs which "plug" up the hole where the smog equipment goes...you can get them at a Ford Dealership - part # F4ZZ-6E086-A

and you can buy some from Summitracing - part # TFS-51400265

They screw right in...they cost anywhere from $2-$8 bucks depending on where you get them from...

Alls you need is those two and your set

I cut the tube from where it bolts to the head, and just welded the parts that attach to the head closed, bolted them back up, and done.

1/2" bolts holding the crossover tube on. 5/8" coarse thread set screw is what I used to plug it. the driver's side head was pretty plugged up so I just did the flip method on that one. pretty tight fit with motor in the car, but I got er done!
