  1. heyyy! that was a good time! thanks to the folks that got that goin, it was real fun. stephen, i didnt get to holler atcha before we parted ways. always good to see ya. it was awesome to see all the datsun homies. for sure goin next year.
  2. oh dang, i never changed my location on here.. in any case, im down in salt lake, but ill be takin 84 up so ill be passing thru caldwell on friday midday..
  3. the frontier and hardbody have the same oil pan, and they drop right into the 620 chassis.
  4. the oil pan fits without modification. use a shorty header or manifold from an s14 for the exhaust to work easy.
  5. i know this aint really the place to ask, but does anyone have a 620 kingcab driver door window for sale?
  6. well shit, count me in then. havnt been on a road trip in a while and thatll get me in gear to get all the stuff on the hardbody fixed. can you pay when you get there?
  7. yessir... so is this shindig like the old ones? i havnt seen the ol datsun crew in a good while..
  8. hey, i think im gonna try and make it up there this year in the hardbody.. this thing any good?
  9. its a whole 720 frame.. i had planned on it getting a 5.3 and a z32 trans when i first started rebuilding it. sold that stuff off for the turbo volvo engine.
  10. frontier ka is gonna have smaller camshaft profile than the older s13 ka. car engines got 240/248, 232/232 cam options. frontiers only got 216/216 profile. the frontier engine can be "converted" to run on s13 parts. the front upper timing cover and the jack pulley with the distributor gear are needed. if you use the s13 upper timing cover that has the distributor provision, you can use an s13 distributor. youll need to remove the frontier distributor and figure out a way to support the oil pump drive in the timing cover. the s13 intake should bolt right up to the d22 engine.
  11. z engine intakes dont fit KAs. the s13 single cam intake will bolt onto either single cam KA head. there are two single cam head castings. the early and late. early has the top feed injectors and the late had the side feeds. nissan changed the intake port on the later head to accept the larger spray pattern from the side feed injector. the late head flows a good bit more also with the intake changes. instead of just the nipple at the top of the port, that high point is drawn out to the one side of each port. the 72p head was only available with the d21 intake tho, so youll need to do some porting on the s13 intake.
  12. and from that point i moved to utah. welded the frame up enough to not fall apart on the trip to utah on the trailer. this is kinda the current look of the truck, just tucked away in the shop. my lease is up next march, so this year is the year of revival. plan is to get it back to runnin, drivin condition. there was a plan at one point to put a 5.3 and a z32 five speed in it, but i traded that stuff off for a redblock volvo engine and some money.. sooo, its getting an 84 b23 from a 240 with a 96+ borgwarner t5 trans behind it... and a turbo the frame needs final welded. i need to get my coilovers for the rear suspension mounted and then i can clean the frame up and paint it. once the frame and all the control arms are done, its time to put it back together. ive got another bed for the truck waitin outside the shop. gonna do a american auto wire harness in it and run a microsquirt for the engine. should be pretty simple setup. gonna put 4x4 hardbody brakes back on the front and keep the stock rearend for the time being. should be pretty cool once its goin again.. ill try and keep this guy updated a little bit more..
  13. at that point i scrapped the rest of the truck and the cab is the only thing left from the original farmer joe build.. buuuuut, i built the new chassis. did this one up with a four link, did some triangulated lower control arms. its got load jackers on the from suspension for the coil spring setup. im still plannin on building a set of tubular uppers for it here this year./
