I mentioned that I bough a 1974 Toyota FJ55 Land Cruiser. Looking at a couple of things to give me a bit more oomph and wondered if ya'll had any input.
It's already got a Weber carb, so I'm thinking next would be a header, 2.5" pipes, high flow muffler, switch over to an electric fan and a modern electronic distributor. Not trying to make a rock crawler, but I could use a few more MPH on the highway. Currently running on 32"s with no lift.
I've been running Range Rovers for years, and the little V-8 makes plenty of go. This is a different deal. I don't want to get crazy and start milling heads, just bolt ons por favor. Thanks for any advice!
I have changed my personal exploring ethics code. From now on it will be: "Take only aimed shots, leave only hobo corpses." Copper scrappers, meth heads and homeless beware. The Jonsered cometh among you, bringing fear and dread.

I'm no gearhead, but unless you are turning off the fan on the highway, the alternator is just going be be drawing heavier for the electric fan causing a comparable (if not more?) decrease in horsepower.
One think you may consider adding if you are on dirty roads a lot is an external and elevated air intake. May or may not increase the HP but your airbox will be hella cleaner.
