About to buy an 83 pickup that needs an intake manifold but I can’t fin any that fit this random head. The 2nd water jacket back is too tall on all the intakes I find. Any ideas?!?!? Mahalo!!!

 

That looks to be a Toyota 20R head with the round intake ports. That intake manifold gasket is not the correct one for that head.

From the pictures I have been seeing online, the coolant jacket between cylinders 1 and 2 does not connect to anything on the intake manifold and the intake manifold gasket for a 20R does not have a hole for one there either, so the gasket just seals up the hole.

Hopefully someone who knows more about the 20R can confirm this. I have never personally worked on one.

 

So its just a false water jacket? Weird.

 

Hmmmm

 

Anyone double confirm this? Im thinking "Old87yota" is correct.
