1998 Mountaineer 5.0 AWD
To the point:
Does my '98 5.0 Mountaineer have an EGR hole between the center ports of the upper and lower intake?

More background:
I have two 5.0 Mountaineers. One is a '98 AWD daily driver. The other is a '99 2wd parts vehicle with an unknown year model engine. (It has yellow marking all over it so I am sure it is a scrapyard engine.)
I have the engine out of the '99. My plan is to clean it up, pull heads, change springs and cam, headers, higher stall converter and put it in my '98. I want to do all the detail work to it while it is out so I can just swap engines and have less down time. I have the upper intake off the '99 and see that it has no hole in the center. If my '98 has the hole and I put an engine in without will it make a difference? They both have an EGR valve on the back of the throttle body.
 












Ditto. I wouldn't make any difference, since the EGR is all external. There are no passages in the engines with external EGR, they removed them from the intakes in mid 1997. But if you had an intake with the EGR holes inside it, that wouldn't affect your 98 system.
