So I find I am stuck with a underpowered 1973+ Lincoln 460 that has EGR pollution crap stuck on.
My question is this, is there a way to remove the EGR and still have the engine run properly?
It was suggested that all I needed to do is replace the stock intake with a non-EGR intake (ex. Eldebrock Performer #7166) and I would guess plug the exhaust line coming from the engine to the EGR valve and that would get rid off that crud and the engine would work fine.
That sounds way too simple. Will that actually work? And if so what will it do to the engine's performance and life?
The engine isn't what I thought it was, nor what I paid for, but its all I have (for now) and I really don't want to screw it up or spend mucho-bucks messing with it, only to get an ounce of performance upgrade. ((yea - I am cheap! ))
I am looking for old fashioned experienced advice here - and you are the guys to go to.
