1VJ Airbox Mod
I uprated my 1VJ because of exactly the same concerns. See attached shots of the mods I've done to the standard 1VJ box: I used some pieces of plastic milk carton to block the inlet snorkels and then drilled inlet holes into the air filter access cover to mimic the 3AJ snorkel (do people think I've drilled enough?). However, as I'm concerned water will run in here when I'm splashing around on Salisbury Plain, I've just sourced a 3AJ box complete and plan on substituting that.
Future plans may include a later head and even a 4PT engine, but the original one is hanging in there for now. I'm thinking about an oil temp gauge before I head off to Maroc this year so I can keep an eye on how hot things are really getting...
