'94 B230FT w/EGR into an '89 765T... how did you plug the exhaust manifold EGR outlet? 700 1989

As the subject says, I'm interested what others have done to deal with the EGR system on a '94 B230FT when putting the engine into a model year that didn't use EGR... Did you remove the EGR components and plug the hole in the exhaust? What kind of plug (thread size) did you use? Another option, I guess, is to keep the EGR components on the engine but disconnect the vacuum line that controls it and also block the connection to the intake. I chose the former since it will be much easier to service the breather box with all that plumbing removed. :) I fabricated a "blank" to go over the connection on the '94 manifold and sealed it with black RTV. For the hole in the exhaust manifold a neighbor actually scrounged a steel plug that fit nicely into the hole. Hopefully it will stand the high temperatures there, and hopefully it won't be blown out!

Thanks,
Bean
