I just got back from the mechanic and I have a warped intake and exaust manifold. He said it would be 700 for parts and another 500 to install. Does anyone know if I can buy an aftermarket or should I go with factory. It is a 1983 Fj60 2F motor. any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Aftermarket intake, rare. Aftermarket exhaust, plentiful: I prefer the MAF 6-2-1 ceramic.

The 2F in my 83 died, so I have all kinds of parts off it, including the stock intake & the MAF header (modified for the air pump pipe).

shop smart(Cdan is the resident OEM parts guy) and you can get a new OEM set of intake and exhaust manifolds for a bit over $500. There are no aftermarket intake/exhaust except a header or similar.

or you can mill your warped manifolds down.

or find a used set.

There is the Offenhauser intake. Lots of headers available, too. I would take the current parts and see if they can be corrected and still fit the truck - that way, at least you have someone checking your boy's work. Not saying a mechanic would cheat you, but I heard it happened once.

If you have all the parts, you can do this yourself. Think of the staisfaction. Think of the $500 in your pocket for some cool cruiser goodies...

Yea, but it's not smog legal, is it?

And where the heck do you find one?

I got a full set off ebay for about $40, replaced all the heat riser gaskets, checked to see if it need milling and slapped it in.

Also have bought a number of used parts from

http://www.cruiserparts.net/parts/fj60.html


and never had a problem with anything from them. They currently list the parts:


Intake Manifold 81 - 87 No warping/Cracking etc. $150
Exhaust Manifold 81 - 87 No warping/Cracking etc. $150
Intake w/Exhaust 81 - 87 Get both Manifolds fully assembled $250


Have also seen the offy manifold on ebay, but it has been out of production for a long time I think.

the pics i have seen have the pcv hole, i guess that's what you mean by smog legal. the aftermarket headers are the part you need to double check for the egr pipe adapter.

For used parts might check this also:

Any interest in parts from an 87' FJ60?
