Quick head question

Do the Dart Iron Eagle and World Sportsman II heads have all the sensor (including fan switch, etc) and EGR ports/plugs necessary to be compatible with my factory TPI setup (I am also using AIR)?

I do know that they don't have the heat crossover.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

The heads have holes tapped for temp sensors.
The exhaust/heat crossover passages are normally what feeds the EGR, so without those you will have no EGR.

Thanks for the reply, TPIgirl!

I spoke with a guy at TPIS yesterday and he mentioned that I could weld a bung into a header and run a pipe to the back of an aftermarket intake manifold (corvette style).

Do you see any problem with doing this?

I just want to make sure there won't be any more surprises once I get my factory heads off and try to put dart/world heads on.

Thanks again.

Just be sure your choice will not cause you a problem later with the emissions laws. Major pain in the XXX for my part of Texas but not as bad as having to go back and do added work and added expense just to satisfy emissions.
