mkoch Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 It looks like I could use shorter studs if I remove this part. Will the y pipe bolt directly to the block? I am going to do the Weber conversion, so no need for the exhaust gas. So, is there any good reason to leave it on there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee2 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I doubt the backside of that flange looks like the front side. The exhaust pipe won't mate well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_freddo Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 You might also find your exhaust will foul the engine crossmember without those spacer plates fitted. Cheers Bennie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) Exhaust header will be too short to reach the heads without hitting the cradle. And you can just cut off the pipe, unscrew the fitting and drop a quarter down in there. Those spacers don't feed exhaust gas, they feed fresh air INTO the exhaust to charge the cat. So a Weber swap does not preclude their use. The converter will still benefit from the AIS system if you leave it functional.

Step-a-toe Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Fitting a Weber doesn't delete the EGR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
