So I pulled off the egr pod from my super six donor today with thoughts of building a block off. I was thinking that since it is a 5/8" steel flange, would it make sense to drill out the rivets from the pod and weld up the two larger holes so you could just replace the base (that has a good contoured look) with the factory gasket? Or is it just better to find a proper block off?

Its easy to make a blockoff.....my Super 6 manifold was so clogged with crap that I didnt need to do anything. I just filed the crap flush with the manifold....been that way for years.

Mine was the same. I just thought that it would look like it was meant to be there if I just ditched the pod. If the factory block off is nearly as thick as the original then that would probably be best. Otherwise I will have to shim the nuts to accommodate the long studs. I'm fairly certain those studs will not turn out.

the factory plate is thick all I did with mine was put lock washers on it and it was fine

Does the one barrel 225 manifold use the same EGR block-off plate as the 2bbl. Super Six manifold? Thanks!

There is no difference in EGR mounting (therefore in EGR blockoff details) between 1bbl and 2bbl intakes.
