welding cast iron to steel isn't the greatest idea... might hold for a little while. I'd go to the parts store or a exhaust shop and get a steel bung to weld into the header that is the same size... then just swap over the egr

cast sucks to weld unless you have a great welder and know what your doing... Just get a bung or find something with the same threads made from steel... I hate those stock cast exhaust manifolds... great idea replacing them!

yeah i have seen the bolt trick before. if you are replacing the headers and have a a welder available i'd get a nut or bung but that's just me... wait a 70's you say... wouldn't that be a 351m and not a 351w???? if so do 351m headers fit a 351w heads??? don't know myself...

Get ourself a another EGR tube form a scrapyard vehicle(and I believe the tubes for all the vehicles of this vintage use the same fittings too) and then just cut the female end off it and weld it on the header.. that's what I did with the old set I had.
