will running my 5.0 (smog pump removed, no cats) without plugs in the ports on the heads (E7) be really bad?

I do not have it running yet (at school) and I dont know where to find plugs for them, or if I should just use some short bolts to cover them up...

thanks

if your talkin bout the tube(idk 1/2in) that runs from the rear of both heads.. i ran mine for a while with nothing there, but i would at least put a bolt in there and weld it..

dont weld the bolt. i dont remember the size but you can thread a bolt in there. if you dont cover/plug up these holes, then it will smell really bad and there will be carbon buildup around the holes.

5/8"-11. They need to be about 3/4"-1" long. It you cant find those them make some cover plates and use some 5/16"-18 bolts and bolt them on using the holes that hold the smog tube on. Thats what I did.

thanks guys. I'll have to swing by the hardware store next time i am home....

There are 2 holes, one for the bolt and another for the tube, I cut a piece of metal, drilled a hole for the bolt and used RTV around the hole then bolted it

take the stock tube chop the tube itself off flip the caps around rtv them and install as factory but backwards

Maybe I'm confused but are we talking where thermactor plugs go?

the shorest bolts i could find at Home Depot were 2" so i just used some washers and cut the bolts down and they snugged right up.
