I'm tempted to freshin up the L20B I have and slap it into the 620 with my 5-speed by the end of the month. That would put my engine build on the back burner, but I've never driven an L20 and the 4 speed is getting really sloppy.
-
Finally figured out my "starter" issue. Replaced the starter a while back and still had some issues. Turns out the ignition switch (ghetto rigged) has broke saulder points on the back. So now I hold the saulder points and the truck cranks or shocks me.

Yes indeed :P So sad thing has happened to my truck. I have a feeling I am going to have some severe issues in the near future. The PO rigged the busted carrier bearing isolator donut up with duct tape. Well, being the typical lazy american, I decided to deal with it when it broke, and now I have a feeling that the fix is toast. On decel in 1st-3rd gear, there is a popping that sounds like a bad cv axle. Also, while driving, slight bumps cause the same sounds, but it is not constant. I hope I can figure out another temporary fix till this weekend since I have work tomorrow, but first I have to baby it back 28 miles to get home :( Mike, you want to overnight me some conveyor belt rubber?

Well, nothing new with the truck. Been really busy getting everything ready to move. My girlfriend and I are moving in together so that is taking most of my spare change this pay period. Hope to be back to Datsuns soon. Per the rules, I has a oic: I'll be sure to get more this weekend.
-
Got a new girl, now I have little time for Datsuns... Priorities all fucked up.

Was this the roadster getting cleaned up on facebook? Nice patina. I don't have any patina on my truck (stupid house paint...) but I have a bit on the B210. Think I'm going to wet sand it and see what it looks like. Some hood rust, some door rust, severly faded roof:
-
Note to self, do not add up the cost of parts till after they are purchased. Still have a long way to go.

haha, that may be the best way to go about this.
-
plus the unavoidable cost of machining. I wont even mention Hot tanking, sonic testing, or balancing.
-
how bout the cost of a headache from doing all of it!!
-
Should sell them to me. Havng all kinds of issues finding some Z20E rods :P
-
That brushed look goes nicely with the color. I'd leave it that way.
-
Just contacted CP to see if they offer or can make some Z20E rods. Buh bye savings...

Why???? Save your bucks and find some stock Z20E rods.
-
^^that
-
Cause I was curious :P Found some stock ones for $500. Figured at that price I might as well have fun looking at alternatives.

Making a few changes in direction for ease and compatibility. Schnieder offers a 488 lift int and exh "turbo" cam grind, dual hi-lift springs, chromoly retainers, and whatever size lash pads the machinist says I need so I'm going all Schnieder. I'm also going with forged pistons for the 4g63 engine. Will have to go to 86mm bore on the L20B block but that shouldn't be a problem. I've asked a few people questions about the rods they suggest to get me to my goal CR but so far no one is biting. I may have a long payday weekend (4 days off) so it looks like I'll be disassembling the block and head and sending out the cam to schnieder next week.

Ah parts sourcing. Gotta love it right? Picked up a sweet U67 from Tdaaj (thanks again). Going to grab a L20B block from MM47 ( :thumbup: ). Now I'm looking for a Z22 crank and a machinist that can put up with my ADD long enough to help me out :P Goal is to have a 2.2L running between 13-15lbs of boost. I don't like turbos on DD vehicles so this will be built around a supercharger. So far the plan is port and polish the head, larger valves if possible, dual high lift valve springs, chromoly retainers, resurfaced (or NOS) rockers, new guides, and a dual grind from Colt Cams with 45 overlap and 496 exh and 507 Int valve lift. Should make power to 6500rpms. Hope for minimal milling on the head, buying a 1.2mm squished height metal headgasket. I want to be between 8:1 and 8.4:1 CR when everything is finished. Still lost on the bottom end for now. I'm tempted to look at aftermarket rods and forged pistons but not really sure yet. Still need to pick up a KA oil pump, Z water pump (I think that is the high output one), new manifolds, and a whole lot of other stuff. Oh well, atleast the ball is rolling.

if you own a datsun, you should also own one of these!!!!

Ordered this tool, how to modify your nissan/datsun, and how to rebuild your nissan/datsun. $37 shipped. Man I love amazon :P -
Wow... your rear tires cost more than my B210 and as much as my 620... They look awesome though! Edit: meant to add this earlier, love your antenna ball :)
-
Good deal. You have a really well laid out plan. Here is the style pan I was talking about, should be pretty easy to make one of these. Either that or dry sump would make the fit a little less of a pain I think. Really looking forward to seeing the frame. Haven't decided on bags or composite leaves and coilover for my truck :P
-
I thought you had already sold it so I didn't ask. That would be perfect MM. I may not be able to pick it up till Sunday though.
-
Yea, I plan on mocking something up first if I have to go custom. I do not plan on cutting my core support. Pretty firm on that, even if it means using an in line filling position.
-
I don't want to cut my core support at all. Does the 720 fit into the 74 without cutting the core support?
