Nice work! I don't have the stock airbox and they def aren't cheap. I'm wondering if those universal air cleaner "boxes" might be enough to just mount near the front of the driver side. Wouldn't be a true CAI but would certainly be better than the stock TBI air cleaner that's currently on there.

Thanks for that photo. Is that metal clamp what bolts to the fender? I’m wondering if maybe a vortec box modified to have that hose/clamp or some version of it go to the driver side fender suffices. The 60 series goes behind the headlight, but the 62 goes to that like 4” circular hole on the...

Thanks! I'm getting something fab'd up friday, I'll show these to him. Currently trying to see what stock hose attached to the fender for FJ62's that went to the airbox, to replicate that. You don't happen to have a photo or PN for that do you? :)

Any interest in a rust free FJ62 with a 350 TBI swap?

Agreed. And that's the issue with the TBI 5.7 shrouds, they are top and bottom mounts and not quite the right dimensions anyways. But the stock shroud seems off-centered, and my fan sits higher than the radiator by a bit as well.

Thanks for this. I had seen a few other threads where people fabb'd some up but not necessarily the actual guide. Agreed with that OP, the summit ones wouldn't cut it anyways since they don't have the flat sides that would allow you to mount to those areas on the stock radiator.

Hey all, I’ve got a 350 swapped truck. It doesn’t have the stock fan shroud. The fan diameter of this engine is 19”. From what I’ve read, the 3F blade diameter is 17”. I would imagine the stock fan shroud is prob 19 around the fan blade, and it doesn’t seem to sit center, is that correct? Can...

Thank you sir! I was quick on the trigger and ordered one from BTB. I should've been more patient. I'm going to install that. To be honest I will also still most likely cut a piece of MLV square with a hole to slide down the shifter rod. And then still prob cut and glue melamine sponges to fit...

Yea that would help big time, I honestly didn't know there was an inner. Which makes more sense that they would have the inner to have some sort of barrier and not just an open hole I guess. Mine is a 1989. BTB has a restored one. I don't see any on SOR

ahhhhh. Oh yea. I'm certainly missing this! Thank you. My current thought before this was just to cut a hole in the center of a square piece of MLV to slip over the shifter rod, and maybe leave the outer boot unmounted so the MLV layer will slide back and forth under the boot. MLV like that...

I guess that's somewhere to look/start. My diff shifter doesn't have an inner boot that I'm seeing on google. Just one rubber boot that covers the rod

Hey all, After a decent amount of searching I still haven't seen a great answer. Other people with similar issues have talked about buying a different shifter boot. I put down deadener + closed cell foam + mass loaded vinyl in my rig which was a VERY noticeable improvement in noise. But...at...

I sent this truck to a friend who was interested. I'm shocked this thing is not gone yet. GLWS this is a fantastic rig!!
