Thats what I needed to hear/read. thanks friends, project build page will be started once I can post pictures. Thanks again.

I already have an L20b in there its just the one thats in there needs a rebuild so I'm gonna build this one then swap them.

I am about to rebuild an L20 for my 510. My plan is to use 280z flat top pistons, a ported w58 head, Mild cam, and a down draft weber. I have used the ozdat engine builder program and it doesn't seem like there will be any clearance issues but I'd still like to get some feed back on my plans. The 510 is my daily driver also so keep that in mind. Thanks.

What year/model 280 came with flat top pistons? Thanks Friends

I need a L-series 4-cyl short block bare or all together. I'm in the SE so as long as you are within a 8 hours drive I'd be glad to come buy it.

Hello, I have a 1970 Datsun 510 2dr. The engine is a L20b with Twin SU carbs. The engine and head were rebuilt recently (less than 1000 miles) and a hot cam was installed. The transmission is a Datsun roadster 5-speed. It is rolling on some 13in American Racing Libre wheels. Stock brakes but the suspension has been modified by the previous owner. The body is extremely straight for its age. No major rust but there is some surface rust in some areas. The car comes with a fuel injection kit. The kit is based off Honda Motorcycle 954 throttle bodies with intake manifold for the L20. It comes with a wiring harness, all the sensors, ECU, fuel pumps, and a tuning device. I have 2 extra transmissions; one 280z and one stock both 4-speeds. I have a complete Poly-urethane bushing kit. Also I have a crane cams points conversion kit to get rid of the points. The Transmission grinds in second, so that will need to be rebuilt or swapped out for a different one. The carbs need to be rebuilt, I can get it to start spraying starter fluid into the carbs but it will not stay running. The price is $3300 firm. I can e-mail pictures of anything you'd like to see. The car is located in Kennesaw, GA

I acctually spoke to him about it, if I remember correctly He only wanted 4 grand for it. I tried to trade him my 510 and my 240 for it. but he wanted cash. so I tried to sell them but by the time I got some bites it had been sold.

Thanks for the help!

I know this is a question offered many times and I've looked at the page on dime quarterly. But I'm looking some either 14x6 or 15x6. http://www.diamondracingwheels.com/stockcar.html What back spacing should I use?

this isn't mine but it seems like a good deal none the less. http://atlanta.craigslist.org/cto/911316080.html

what is the recomended torque settings for a cam'd L20 with oversized dished 280 pistons?

I passed a dumptruck once....

NOT MINE, but I thought someone on here might want these. http://atlanta.craigslist.org/pts/791626905.html

Hey Mr. Bucket (hehe) if you want someone to join you. I'm in the Kennesaw Acworth area.

Thanks for the advice guys.

This is my first thread post, so bear with me. I have a '70 510 L20b with what i thought was a 280zx 5 speed. I recently pulled the transmission with the intentions of replacing it because the 1st and 2nd gear synchro's had gone bad. It turns out that I have a close ratio roadster 5-speed with a l-series bellhousing. I decided I would keep the roadster trans a get a replacement until I can afford to rebuild the 5-speed. So a picked up a '73 z 4-speed 'cause I was told it would bolt in, it doesn't. so my question is should I put the roadster trans back in it and deal with the grinding, or should I build a new crossmember, get the drive shaft shortened, and make the shifter hole bigger for the 4-speed to get it back on the road? cause its gonna be a while before I can afford to rebuild the roadster trans....

How much are you looking to spend?

I mostly read on this forum so not too many people know me. I am in Kennesaw, GA so east bay is not logical for pick up.I am going to search some salvage yards monday, any suggestions on what I should look for and far as year, make, and model goes?

I need just a plain jane r-160 rear diff. mine shit the bed last night. let me know what you got, I need one real bad.

I think this is badass and can't wait to see it done. It gets me thinkin'....

http://www.shop.retro-spec.net/product.sc?categoryId=10&productId=42 these guys have them for a 510 in fiberglass or carbon fiber.

http://atlanta.craigslist.org/car/599438582.html What do you guys think?

I guess it is an atlanta thing because i paid $2000 for my 2-door with a l20b and 5 speed. I thought I got a good deal on it.
