97's had external EGR, but many of them still had the intake with the internal EGR passage. Unfortunately you have to pull the upper to confirm for sure. No EGR isn't the end of the world though.

Ok so rule I found out for VA, SC - I need broker to buy salvage title.
For GA and NC I can buy salvage without license! Handy.
But that VA Exploder looks nice....may be worth it. Which I could hear how it runs knock knock - does it have blowby etc.-Nick M.

If you've got the time you could do a compression test I suppose. Or look down the intake. If it's got blow-by it will be poofing oil through the suction line leading to the intake and thus be ingesting far more than it should be, not to mention making a mess of the manifold, IAC & associated ports.1985 LTD Crown Victoria - SOLD

I have. A Few days until the auction. I may just seek a broker and if I can buy it and drive it home...winner winner. Danville is 3 hours. Broker is $150-200 :-( so buy it cheap, pray you win, and part out what you can. There's also one in Winston salem with 188k with seriously ripped doors. No broker there so save $150-200. But it is also driveable.-Nick M.

If you can find a junkyard that will just sell you an engine, that might be the way to do it. Saves you the bother of extracting it and dealing with brokers and all that crap. Nothing in there is of any particular value other than the engine. I guess you might get a gear set out of the rear, but they're 31 spline so the carrier is not of much value.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

Junkyards are selling these for $300-500. And I have no idea how it runs :-/
But true. 96k just peaked my interest.-Nick M.

Could have JBL goodies in that exploader!!!
Don't get too excited about the mileage, if it wasn't maintained and had 15k mile oil changes with wal-mart oil and el-cheapo filters it's anyone's guess as to how good it still is... But, that's just coming from me, this site's biggest pessimist. Best of luck.1985 LTD Crown Victoria - SOLD

I don't think you're the biggest pessimist. Close, but not the biggest.
