here on mud, too many "purists" that want stock engine. Truth be told, the 350 conversion probably performs better on highways, and makes the FJ more roadworthy, (vs the original off-road beast it was intended to be). The downsides, I hear.. are that you can not be sure how/who did the conversion, and the 350s can run hot. I'd either lower your price expectations, and/or list it on ebay. And, as mentioned, it needs smog in CA. I'm looking, and am waiting for a late year Cali car, that already has passed smog. Just too much of a hassle to worry about installing or fixing later.. 1975 should be smog exempt, for now, but who knows how long that may last under this prez. Best of luck
