Four tailpipes, two air intake pipes.
Nice fella there priced export shipping for me at......... 650 euros. Ouch.

Re: Fording Kits Stuck in the "European Theater"
Hi Rack,
Yeah, there does seem to be some good M37 parts over the pond in Europe........but shipping is a bitch. I found some nice stuff in Greece, but between the VAT and the shipping it just wasn't cost effective. And then if something gets damaged or lost in transit I'm sure it wouldn't be fun dealing with that hassle. I guess eventually the regular MV vendors will find those parts over there and buy them in bulk to fill a container, and get them back over here. Unless our friends over there buy them to restore their M37s. The fording pipes (intake and exhaust) wouldn't be very hard to reproduce, so I suspect that when enough people call Midwest or VPW looking for them they'll start being repopped. Time will tell, I guess.
regards,
bob
