can I block off the EGR? my problem is the double threaded peice that goes between the header and egr tube. Is it replaceable? where? mine is ruined and i dont know what to do. I cannot put the driver side LT on until I figure this out. and does anyone have any tricks for removing the pass. side header? thanks

Not a header guy here, sorry, but I might be able to help with the EGR. You have a couple of choices: keep the EGR or ditch it. If you remove it, you need to have things turned off in the tune or you'll get the pesky CEL light. Randy Stinchcomb at Liberty Ford can fix you up with a delete kit but you'll still need a tune adjustment. If you keep it (I would, it helps with mileage and keeps NOx in the tailgas down), then you can get a new EGR tube from Randy or your local Ford parts counter.
To install headers, the "easiest" way is to remove the k-member. This gives much better access than jacking up the engine (one side at a time). I will try to hunt down some header installation articles for you. It's been done by quite a few people and there are some good how-to articles lurking on some Mustang sites.
***edit: You know, you might need a tune tweaking because the LT's tend to leave the O2 sensors cooler than the stock exhaust. This can give you some idle quality problems. So... if you find that you need the tune tweaked for the LT's (rather, the O2 sensor delay table) then you might just go ahead and delete the EGR. Depends on how "green" you want to be, lol.

I'm not sure how you did the header install without jacking the engine up based on what I have read. My understanding is that the engine has to come up to allow the LT's to be snaked into place and for access to the bolts. I am guessing that you have the front wheels off and the fender liners removed so you can get to the bolts. Anyway, keep up the good work!
