Tried hitting these with penetrating oil, heating up with torch...have a huge pipe wrench, nothing can budge them. So....I need 2x new ones.

Try to match them up in the plumbing aisle.
Believe me I'm a big fit guy...2x other people tried, one a young strapping kid in his 20's...It's a brass fitting, use muscle.. if you can't get that off start working out at the gym.
part number 805563 1/2 inch NPT to 1/2 in inverted flare
Those manifolds will be uncomfy as heck to put in my pocket to go walk in and hold up and compare.....
If I could remove them I would walk in and hit that aisle and compare til I found 'em...but...
That isn't the right listing. The female needs to be an inverted flare.Hard to tell by looking at them but as was indicated before they look to be 1/2” NPT.
Here is a picture of one on Amazon, but I’m pretty sure you can get it at Home Depot.

EDIT: Oh, when you used the heat, were you able to get the surrounding manifold cherry red?
I posted the correct part number for that fitting and it dosent require a 4 foot extention on a wrench
To be effective, it's gotta get cherry red. A propane torch likely won't get it done - too much metal and not hot enough.No...just a smaller propane torch.
