I would run that gasket and not look back if it were me unless I’m missing something else in the pictures.

An assumption based on reads, but there exists a general fear of manifolds cracking/warping on early F derivatives, that probably plays into the decision to, at least, attempt the readily available 3FE.

From there, guessing an educated decision can be made......if that's even possible, considering.

Toyota improved each manifold rendition from early carb'd to the 1FZ-F, with very few reports of 3F manifold issues that the late 2F had, from the earliest 3F in the mid 80s, to the 90s when. production ceased.

It's a three piece design, but integrated together in a manner that is stated to allow expansion while lessening warpage.

That was one of the primary reasons for utilizing along with a freer flowing intake and exhaust.

What I get for reading.

The two exhaust manifolds are coupled, for lack of better.

How does a perfect fitting gasket play into all of that?

I don't know......but this is usually the point in these where it'd be easy to start "modifying" or short cutting. Not saying that any other solution is a short cut, but for lack of absolute knowledge, I resort to trying to maintain continuity.

The ultimate oxymoron.

Dumb and smart at the same time....
 
Ain't gonna believe this....

3F was NA market destined.

Just ordered the correct gasket from beno, this after ordering two others and BVB spending time making them work.....

:)

Only fitting that this is acquired and customized to accurately reflect the nature of this here engine.

I just hope I can fit

"Costly, Bastard, Redheaded Early 2F+Late 2F+3F+3FE"

On the engine model line....
 
How much room is there between the rad and closest point of the fan? Mine is also very close...not ALOT of movement at the mount points....I haven't had any trouble yet. Let me measure my clearance and we can compare. you may be alright. you might want to have a custom fan hub to pulley adapter made to bring the fan back a scosh...
 
just put "55" in all the fields...

Enough to slide a few pieces of paper through....

BUT, the OE radiator appears to be in good shape and is a 4 row.

Having not touched it, not ordered anything else until this point, going to have it rodded and the core moved forward a 1/2", which should be enough clearance for comfort.

Crying shame the body work wasn't done already....
 
What brake master cylinder is that in the picture? It'll save me a bunch of research if you don't mind.

70 Series parts are North American, the majority of which are available through Toyota USA, at least, through the right channels.

Went back through notes to see why it was chosen, and all I can say is:

I dunno....

Probably physical size and closer proximity to piggish sized brake cylinders, orientation of fittings, because I mis-ordered something prior to..... anyone's guess.
 
Could you have just used an early FJ80 (non-ABS) master?

Not so sure that they're not the same thing, after doing a little checking.

Maybe supercession, because the measurements were taken from a 70, but the MC looked different than what is currently installed, but it's functionally the same.

I need to reread this thread so I can remember the what and why...
 
did someone say CHEESE BURGER?
