Intake manifold replacement

[klittlefield]

Doing a manifold gasket replacement while Jim C is doing the carb. And while cleaning the intake I found a nice crack at the corner of number one. Now what to do? I have no clue as I was not anticipating this at all. I'm thinking getting a decent used one. But I have no idea where to get one. Anyone have one they want to get rid of?

Thanks all.

Why not weld it?

I have a couple of old ones, off F engines.

I'm not sure it can be welded. Or who to take it to.

Don't think one from an F will help. Wrong carb set up.

Valley Machine is well versed in older inline engines.
At least there used to be an old guy there that was.

Is the manifold cast iron or cast aluminum?

Aluminum. I think. I am at work fo I don't have it with me. But when I get home I'll double check

I have stick welded cast iron several times with success. Welding cast aluminum is a bit more challenging due to all the impurities but it can be done.

just for grins I had parts look up what a new one would cost (Sometimes you just never know and can be suprised) BUT there are no valid part numbers anymore for that application through Toyota

Hope you have a magnet at home - like Phil said, Irons much easier to work with.

Thanks all. I actually found a used one that looks not to be cracked and I'll get it milled to tru. Thanks again to everyone for the help. As usual the CSC guys help a friend out.
