so "stage II" of my build (that one I haven't assembled stage I of) will be based around the fitment of aftermarket heads, and anyone whose listened to me ramble on will know I'm going to great lengths to keep everything looking and functioning as it did from the factory, or at least some ford factory.
My question is:
Do the "smog legal" AFR185 and/or TFS185 heads have a way for me to hook up my smog pump? They're 50 state legal, and I assume California wouldn't put up with dummied or removed smog pumps, but I can't see any evidence of smog hole in the pictures I've found.
Also, if not:
Would I retain some semblance of emissions compliance/friendliness by hooking the piping that did go to the back of the head to the oxygen sensor holes ahead of the cats?
Also also: What actually controls the smog pump functions (on/off and diversion to the head vs. cats) on a variable venturi car and how do I hack it up to work with a conventional DSII/4-barrel system?
Also also also: "rip that shit out" is not a constructive answer.
