No clue. Unless its nearly free as a used part I would buy only from an authorized source so you get factory support. Seems like a lot of sniper installs take a lot of diddling to get them to work satisfactory.

Go to sniper's site and see what's included in there FJ kit.

That's a big 4 barrel does your 40 have a v8?

A 2F would use this style I believe

@Ozpall so it is almost 1 year later….did you ever eventually install a Sniper on you vehicle?

With over 3 years under my belt…. A Sniper would be on any future 40 i ever had. Starting is a breeze, fuel economy…nothing to twist and shout about, throttle response is quite “snappy” or maybe the word is very responsive, idle smoothness is impressive….AND, if you're willing to dive into the flexibility; of adjustments, you can apply some great changes specific to your engine making it a very nice package.

In case you need to be pushed into the crater of the volcano.

To state a counter point here: I used to think I wanted a Sniper but after wheeling with several people at altitude and in the heat over the last few years and seeing the problems they were having and how little those of us with carbs were having, I'm sticking with my carb.

Granted, some of this was due to how they were installed and some of it due to the proprietary nature of some of the components.

My AISIN clone Fuji carb fires right up unless having sat for a couple weeks, then it just takes a few cranks. I don't need a computer to tune it, just a screw driver.

Just my 2¢ and stuff...

the problem is most people don't go with an Aisin or with an Aisin rebuild kit.

Here is the biggest win for my Sniper. I have an absolutely mint restored FJ45 all stock w/ Aisin carb, factory distributor and conventional choke. Everything set to spec. It starts fine. If not run in weeks, and it’s not, when the time comes to start it, it’s like and other vintage car that needs to crank a few moments and get fuel for combustion.

The Sniper will start in 3 seconds under any conditions freezing cold, miserably hot and anything in between. It is a buttery smooth idle from the second it starts, acceleration from 10 mph to stomping on the pedal…excellent. Not that the 45 has problems…the sniper is just exceptionally responsive all the time and you can dial it in for anything you prefer. In crawling along in LOW 4WD, remarkable how it just idles through. I was teaching my grandson how to drive it and I could literally walk along side as he steered and shifted. He never touched the throttle

I love them both but I do enjoy that startup
