Had the original 4 speed bellhousing machined.

Truck Bed repair before mounting. She's running now. Electric fan and an upgraded alternator with a Holley Sniper. Confused pre setup displacement settings. Set it to 1999 ci thinking it was cc so it was dumping way too much fuel. Started right up with the correct settings. Fuel pump setup. AN6 lines. Had to extend the drive shaft since I'm using a 5 speed from a Hardbody. Repaired both rocker panels All body mounts were done. Only one support bracket was usable so have to fabricate 3. Bought pressed floor panels from thailand.

That's the pcv setup I have now. Sry if i was confusing I meant the holley has 3 vacuum supplies which I'd use for booster and advance. thx for 1 way valve suggestion. since its efi they suggest using holley vacuum for pcv.

There's 3 vacuum inputs on the sniper. I plugged 3 temporarily. I have a pcv valve on the intake manifold. On the holley forums they suggest a fixed orifice valve but the ones they listed for a v8 so looked further and it's recommended a pin valve so I could adjust. So I was thinking from the block to the vacuum port of the holley with that valve. One port for booster and one for vacuum advance. So try and avoid running it until I get it roadworthy? Every so often to cycle oil?

I'm back. Made great progress and my engine runs. Have to reroute my pcv since I'm using a holley and it's getting to much air. My question is about how long should I or can I idle it? I'm worried about the break in period and properly sealing the rings. It's not street worthy at the moment. I need to time it 10 or so degrees and set the hot valve lash.

What is the longer one out of? I mocked it up today and there's a inch it can still go in and it's barely catching the teeth.

Engine's in!

Bolted up the d21 fs5w71c onto the l20b. I overlooked the mount being further back which isn't a big deal but now I'm concerned about the drive shaft. Will it need modification since I know the trans is a little shorter than the original 4 speed. Here's progress

https://www.summitracing.com/parts/bre-885-067 It's strange. The threads are 22mm. Way bigger than normal oxygen sensors. Im going to cap it and drill a hole for the snipers sensor. Just need free flanges haha. Had to bore out the flange and the manifold by an 8th.

Fender mounting repair Getting ready for the engine. Here's the flange Datzenmike generously donated. I bought an aftermarket pipe for a d21 and cut off its flange. Tried for a local oem one but no luck.

Is This correct? Needing a 90 degree?

Went to nissan instead of rockauto and was able to find the correct bearing haha. I think i went through each year on rockauto

Hi I bought a d21 5 speed for my 620 l20b. I've had the bell housing machined to match the fs5w71c from a d21. I buggered the countershaft bearing so I ordered one from rockauto. They all have an inner bore of 25mm but mine is 22mm and the correct 62mm OD. Did I buy the wrong transmission?

Didn't want to make another thread. What part is this? Never saw my engine assembled. Scoured the diagrams

Got my engine back from the machine shop and am very happy with it so far.
