Title: Interchanging EGR Valves?
Post by: sansabar on July 18, 2006, 08:01:47 PM
Can I use my EGR valve from a stock 1988 5.0 (50mm TB) and put it on a stock 1987 5.0 HO (60mm TB)?  I just got an HO to replace my factory intake and the EGR valve on it is damaged - don't want to buy a new one if I don't have to.

Thanks.  Why didn't I think of doing that?  Looks like I'm good to go!
