      Welcome!

      Basically:
      -Can't use the HO EGR plate, must get your current one bored (I think it needs bored to 63mm), or find one off a 5.8L Lightning (very rare)
      -On the TB, cut the rivet that holds the lever on and reweld so the orientation is the same as your stock TB

          On the HO engines the EGR, throttle body, and all the linkages are designed "backwards" as the intake faces the passenger side instead of the drivers side. I've seen it done but I believe it requires fabrication. It is easier to bore your existing one or hit the NLOC classifieds or eBay and try to get one from a Gen 1 Lightning.

            no place to mount the throttle and transmision tv linkage to the mustang egr spacer.......something could be fabbed up but it is easier to get a stock lopo egr spacer bored out to 63 mm
