I tried to get a EGR pipe at the dealer form my 351 and they wanted like $200. I ended up welding my broken one back together. I could not find one at any of the autoparts stores in town either. I would search the junkyards for that part.

As long as both engines are odb1 and are from trucks or vans from 1992--1996 you should not need to rewire anything.If the engine is out of a van then the engine harness will be wired for the transmision also.Just use the truck harness for the trans.

id like to do this eventually, i welded the egr pipe and im going to give that a try,
i doubt im going to put too much effort into this 6, if i can just get a v-8, what about the front suspension, does that need any work? the 6 is heavy but heavy as a v8?
id like to see pics of the parts i need, i saw some pics of what it looks like, but nothing on removal

the flywheels are engine specific. If you plan on swaping in a 302 youll need a 302 flywheel if you plan on swaping in a 351 you'll need a flywheel for that. I have done much research only im going OBD II.
