How does an EGR adapter work?
I understand that installing Vortec heads on an EGR engine requires plumbing the EGR from the exhaust using an EGR adapter kit, right? I'm wondering how the EGR adapter kit works and does it require anything special in the way of headers?
Who's done this before?

Hell, I'll take a poke...
From what little I've seen there is an adapter that that goes between the port and the pipe and plumbs the gas up to a base that the EGR sits on mounted on the manifold. Ihave also seen others tapped into manifolds that go up to homemade bases (usually modified edelbrock adapters) that mount to the manifold. The last one I have seen is a complete homemade setup where the guy mounted the EGR between the manifold and header and had tubes going to both the manifold and pipes. Hope that helps some.
