Bought these last week, showed up today. Pretty damn nice. Coincidentally they're off of a '70 GS350.
$274.35 well spent. Normal individual manifolds are about 100-150 a pop+ shipping in worse shape.

Bought these yesterday now to look for the prop valve , brake lines. If anyone knows of any special tools I may need please feel free to advise me. Thanks

You should do a write up. I’m hoping to be doing the exact same thing next week. I’d be happy to contribute my findings in a thread.

Ha. Nice thread. Love the butt hurt you caused.

I have a few ideas I’m gonna try on this swap. I’ll have to post it. Loved your solution to the prop valve though. A well thought out setup doesn’t need one.

Sssssh... that was the old me, and we don't let him out much these days.

Autocrossed the sh*t out of that setup for years without issue (the bias was right on) and I have the same setup on the wagon... so yeah - it works.

I love to see folks creative solutions to problems.
