engine swap trouble
 

im putting the motor from an 86 into my 85 gsl-se and im switching the rats nest. On the 86 motor there is some kinda valve thing on top of the motor and it is in the way of the 85's rat nest. do they make a block off plate for this and where can i get it?

are you trying to put the 85 rats nest on to the 86 motor??

yes

im sorry, but this is halarious...

Sounds like the egr vavle. Just make a block off plate for it, remove the studs and use bolts for the plate.

i know that but i wanted to just buy one because all the metal i have around is galvinized

I use 1/4" aluminum, then paint or powdercoat them. Most galvanized metals are too thin to be leak proof.

right thats why i wanted to buy one

i dont think they will work

any for an 86? and will that egr block out work on my motor?

A saber saw, drill with bit and a file is all you need to make a block off plate. If not, try RB or Mazdatrix.
