Lots of good info here. After reading some more posts on here, and taking into consideration Dick mentioning the stock intakes are used in stock class racing and can get up to 145 mph, and the fact I just want a nice cruiser, I'm going to stick with a stock intake. I did purchase the 2bbl intake ACE adapter for the stock intake. Seems like it should help some, and work fine for what I want the car to do. I haven't gotten the adapter yet, but it looks like it will replace the stock spacer with about the same height. Unfortunately, any higher and I do think there would be clearance issues. I also a rebuilt 2150 carb to put on there too. Looks like I'll be removing the egr as the new space has no provision for it. If I absolutely had too, I imagine I could drill holes in the ACE adapter to accept the EGR. I'd also have to drill and tap the ranger header that also does not have an EGR hookup. Another odd question perhaps. Since I won't need the O2 sensor, could I take it out and some how hook up a line from the smog pump to that location? I currently reside in DE, and the DMV rules say that the sniffer test they do is at idle, when the EGR isn't even operating. I know sometimes my questions may seem odd, but I'l many times think of something and just wonder if its possible, if it works, or if someone has done it. Thanks again.
