Hi Tuik, I have a 1966 Datsun 520, what I did was cut the J13 radiator sheet metal off the core support, the holes to mount the 521 radiator are already there but without the captured nuts, this does not mean it is a bolt in as I do not know how you mounted the L block engine, you will likely have to figure a few things out.   I have the stock 521 fan in my 520, I go to extreme efforts to make stock parts work, my fan is very close to the radiator, and I mean very close, but I made it work, as I recall I had to cut the tips off my fan because they hit a plug on the lower tank on the radiator, I made a jig to cut the tips off the fan so it would still be balanced, maybe your radiator does not have a plug where mine had one.   I just looked and do not have a photo of my fan clearance on this computer but I found my Ratsun build thread, here is a link to it.   https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=8719887a7716916cJmltdHM9MTcxNTczMTIwMCZpZ3VpZD0zMjBkOGE2ZC02YWQxLTY1MGItMzdlMC05OWMzNmJmYzY0YzgmaW5zaWQ9NTIxNg&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=3&fclid=320d8a6d-6ad1-650b-37e0-99c36bfc64c8&psq=waynos+1966+datsun+520+kingcab+ratsun&u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly9yYXRzdW4ubmV0L3RvcGljLzI3NjcxLTE5NjYtZGF0c3VuLTUyMC1raW5nY2FiLXByb2plY3QtYWN0LTIv&ntb=1   On the date of February 27, 2012 the 5th photo shows my Radiator clearance, I had more room then but moved the cab back which made the fan closer to the radiator, I do not remember most the details anymore.

If I needed to get the truck moving and you have already replaced the clutch master with one from a 521 then I would buy a 720 clutch master likely available locally and slot the mount holes. actually I would likely cut from the outside on both sides opening the hole completely, I would do it with a cutting disc on my Dewalt angle grinder, but a hacksaw could be used to do this, then I would center the slave to the clutch arm and tighten the mount bolts down, make a rod for it, bleed it and call it good.   There possibly might be an issue though, how is the rod connected to clutch arm, if it has a pin holding it on the clutch arm then I would likely make a new arm the right length from scratch, this is something I can do, not sure about you maybe the stock arm will work.

It's Destruction FFS. It's entertainment! So bitch away and have a lultz or two. You sure ain't gonna change anything so just know that from the start, and now knowing this, (that everything is out of your hands and control) it makes all your moot comments kind of funny. As it should be.          

You could! Here's me pointing to the big orange elephant in the room and everyone is looking elsewhere. It's the Dems, Mike is a CIA undercover operative, the judge is corrupt, the news is biased (actually true). Been almost 24 hours and no rebuttal about the video I posted. Has anyone watched it and want to say: Trump never does that, never says that, never acts like that, not petulant, not narcissistic, never lies, doesn't fuck a porn star so no, not an adulterer, doesn't cheat on his own golf course, doesn't constantly repeat himself, doesn't wander off subject when talking and doesn't struggle to find the right words.

You DO realize he just likes to troll, right?  He likes to argue against any opinion you have.  I do that myself from time to time. I do enjoy cranking someone up from time to time..
