I have installed a Ranger 2.3 header onto a 91 Mustang 2.3 (Which I have installed into a 74 Pinto) The year of the Ranger from which the header came from is not known, as I removed it from an engine in the you-pull-it yard - The entire body was gone, all that was left was the chassis. Anyways, I would like to connect the EGR valve, but the mustang tube wont work. I tried to heat the mustang tube with a torch and bend it, but failed. It squeezed the tube shut.
What can I do to create a new tube? There is a pretty tight 90 degree angle needed between the header and the block....
you might want to use google and do this number.. 9D477 then hit the image search link..
you might be able to scope something that you can weld the two pieces together.. you may be able to use brazing to fit the sleeve over the two pieces.. EGR stuff gets really really hot. especially close to the exhaust manifold..
dorman also sells a lot of Egr tubes... some probably come from PCIiNC.
if you bend up and flare the exact shape in copper tubing.. you might be able to send it to a tube bender and have them duplicate it.
GM and other car makes use a flexible stainless steel egr tube you might look into also. i don't know if you need the back pressure differential passages in your application..
I cant find a casting number on it anywhere. Ill attach a pic of one just like it I found on google.
I'm using the 91 Mustang intake. Haven't seen that site yet I don't think, I will look at it now.
I will google that part number also. I figured there was some flexible tubes but so far haven't found any yet.
No back pressure differential passages needed for the mustang engine (think the ranger needed it, but the mustang manifold and egr system had no restrictors inside it anywhere)
