I've got an '83 euro 300 motor. Anyone know if it's header pipe is the same as, say a '77-'81 300D? Or are those all the same? Thanks!

Also, I'm going on the diagram from the FSM to tell me that everything south of the downpipe is identical from 240s to 300s.

Has the '83 euro got an egr valve? I'll look under the hood of the euro 300D that is sitting in the yard tomorrow.

Yep, it sure does. Is there common consensus whether to block it off or not? Is this euro in your yard a parts car? Maybe it has a manual? Maybe you wanna sell off the drive shaft?

300 euro when we put it in a 240 us chassis i bought new exhaust system and it fit fine. i conclude they must have been the same in my case at least. yours could be different is suppose but i doubt it.
