I've got a shop here in Dallas, but fairly new to working on FJ40s. I've got a 1973 FJ40 with a fuel injected L31 5.7 GM motor. It's got a Vortec spider intake with a approx 3" round throttle body. Currently, it's got a conical air filter drawing directly over the back of the motor. Have you done any like this? I'm interested in purchasing one of your snorks. I'm not sure if the Edelbrock hat will work? Or would it need to go to a panel filter in a box and then back to round again? Thoughts?

Josh, I'd try and get a bit bigger snorkel and use an inline filter box like the kind you'd find at some of the offroad vendors. That engine will suck a lot of air. My little 3B diesel will make a decently loud howl at the top of the snorkel at WOT which is only 2800+/- RPM on the highway. Off road is no problem due to lower RPM. On long hwy trips I take off the pre-cleaner but I am plumbed through a stock air filter. What we really could use is a sealed valve to either use the snorkel or pull air in from under the hood. Then just engage the snorkel when its actually needed.

On my 3b with the safari scoop on it I get better power at hwy speed... like a ram air. I even had a increase in mpg from the pre cleaner ... I now only run the precleaner off-road. I also have a K/n filter in the stock air box.

Lots of action on these snorkels lately. I keep telling guys that I have to get some welded up and powder coated but I haven't gotten to it yet. I have been making sills and some other parts for two weeks straight but next week might see some "spare" time come free to get them done. Looks like there could be 4-5 guys looking to buy so I will move this up the priority list now that the other stuff is near done.
