3 (yes, 3!) 510s just popped up on atlanta craigslist about an hour ago:
'72 2-dr w/ L20B: http://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/cto/3946247233.html
'71 2-dr w/ KA24DE: http://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/cto/3946819248.html
'69 bamboo 4-dr: http://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/cto/3946845533.html
Guy wants $6500 for each of them- give these clean 510s new homes!

'72 2-dr shell in Loganville/Snellville area:
http://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/for/3913858691.html
The seller is on the Realm (akaspec48)- not sure if he posted it on Ratsun, so figured I'd help him out

Yeah, I've always heard/read that as well. The only better options are an early Maxima intake (which positions the throttle body at the front of the motor- not really convenient for 510s) or a custom gutted intake plenum. Pathfinder seems to be the best option if you're looking for increased hp/tq numbers.

Nice VG dime! Looks really clean.
You're right about the Z31 manifold not fitting in the car, but it's because the manifold itself is so long that it hits the firewall. The Pathfinder manifold is the one that sits up too high and contacts the hood unless the lower part of the manifold is machined down. 200SX manifold is the way to go if you don't want to have to do any parts machining or notching of the firewall.
Keep up the progress!

Mods, just noticed I posted this in the wrong For Sale section- please move it if possible. If not I'll repost in the correct place. Thanks.

No longer need any L-series stuff, so clearing out these intake manifolds.
Edelbrock L-series manifold with what I think is an adaptor plate for a Weber carb (not sure though). Same manifold that is shown in the book "How to Hotrod and Race your Datsun."
Also have an Offenhauser Dual Plane L-series manifold (6002-DP). This manifold was made specifically for an L-16 but I've read that it will fit an L20B as well. One of the carb mounting studs is missing about 1/4" off the top of the stud as you can see in the pics below.
Both manifolds had been sitting in boxes for years, so I recently put them in the parts cleaner to clean them up a bit. Asking $150 + shipping for the Edelbrock and $125 + shipping for the Offenhauser. I'll answer any questions I can as well as provide more pics if requested. Thanks.

Was out riding my bike when I came across this dime- first one I've ever seen in Athens.
Turned around and stalked him for a while until he stopped at his work. Car has an L18 with 32/36 Weber. He told me he picked it up years ago in Seattle and brought it back to the east coast.

i still would kill to pull up to the school to pick up my daughter with a f-1 motor idling....wondder if i could get a crossing guard to help me re start it ....
Oh don't get me wrong, i would kill to drive anything with that motor too, regardless of what it is

Between the angle of that steering wheel and the way he's holding it, it looks like he's driving a bus, lol

I have an Edelbrock and an Offenhauser for an L-series motor- I just finished cleaning them up but hadn't gotten around to posting them in the for sale section.
The Edelbrock intake manifold has an adaptor plate to run a Weber carb, and the Offenhauser is a dual-plane intake specifically for an L-16 (I think). I can send pics- PM me if interested.

Old pic- currently covered in pollen and in need of a bath

I found this 510 today while scouring craigslist- already posted it in the East Coast Classifieds but here you go:

Welcome to Ratsun and congrats on the score!
Just a heads-up though- better hurry up with the pics because...
Hell hath no fury like Ratsuners scorned (with no pics)!
I'm sure others will chime in soon, but an L-series putting out 160 whp will be awfully expensive (and less and less reliable as you shoot for higher hp). It would be easier to get those numbers with some sort of L-Z hybrid motor, but a KA with ITBs would be a good alternative to get near 160 whp as well (and KA-E motors are 25 years old, so technically they are antiques).
I've always been a fan of the later round-gauge instrument clusters, so that would get my vote. But don't worry, you won't offend anyone on here by mixing and matching from the different model years, so do as you please.
Fender flares are important if you want to go with a much wider wheel/tire combo, but if you can't do bodywork yourself then make sure that you have a good shop to install the rear flares and just buy the flared front fenders (check out Futofab).
All of your ideas simply come down to cost- doing all the work that you've outlined can get expensive, especially if you buy all of the parts new from aftermarket vendors. Scouring junkyards and doing work yourself will help cut the total bill down. Also checking out everything on this forum will give you ideas of how to save, and fellow Ratsuners provide lots of feedback and opinions (whether requested or not). Hope you've got the budget to complete the build- good luck!
