ok step by step but now it's complete. got a coil from a 1980 720 scored the dizzy with it too. removed the ballast. opened plugs up to .042 and removed the e1 points relay.

i googled and got 1-2hp, 2-5hp, 5-10hp. 10-20 seems fairly high.

if you were closer i'd help you remove it and buy it from you. i wonder if more 510's had ac than 521's

use your l16 oil pan and you'll be fine. i put my l20b in and didn't have to do any tranny stuff. directly bolted in. 5 speed is a whole different story.

the paint looks almost like a satin but just a little flatter. i like it. i suppose one could scotch bright any satin color to look flat.

i like those large windows. what do you mean it defeats the purpose? the purpose of having a blind spot?

i could tell ya, but then i'd have to kill ya.:D

fisch let me do some homework for you. l20b $350 at pandolfe's auto parts south in ct. 1-800-752-7278 l20b $200 at burlington auto parts in ma 1-800-228-5544

i too have a leak coming from under my kick panel. the side of my truck was smashed at one time so it has cab damage under the fender.:(

most important is does it have a title?

if your having trouble removing the rears this has worked for me but others may tell you not to do it. instead of smacking the drum smack the center of the hub. for some mechanical reason it knocks the axle loose from the drum. on all four make sure you leave the lug nuts on so you dont bang up the threads.

loosen the star wheel adjusters as loose as they will go. then if you have to use a sledge do it. you'd burn up 50 dremel discs trying to get it off. this is where the phrase use a bigger hammer comes into play.:D also spray loads wd-40 inside from the backside. you can never use too much wd-40.

got a deal for $3000 and wants to sell for $5000. what do you think it's really worth?

that sucks, nice car though. he probably had someone whispering some bullshit in his ear and he went with it. i mean you told him how it was going to be and he was happy when he first got it. like you said, pass it on to someone that will appreciate it.

make sure you use a l20b oil pan from a truck. a car oil pan wont fit. so if your donor engine came out of a car you will need to source a oil pan to swap. the sump is 2 inches more forward in a car (same bolt pattern though) so you wont even be able to get it in. if you dont know what your donor engine came from then its time to break out the tape meaure. we'll cross that bridge when it comes bro. peace

stephen king carrie the main guy character pulls up to carrie's house to ask her to the prom in a sweet red 521. stephen king maximum overdrive has a 521 in it.

the best of both worlds. in my world at least. my 521 next to my 70 torino gt fastback. i'm so stupid for getting rid of that car. i was young and dumb though. i really like the american muscle. i think 70 was the best year as far as the body stlyes. also if i get in a wreck in my 521 i have zero chance of making it out of that tin can. no jaws of life needed, just pour me out. is it worth it? HELL YA IT IS.

nice score, dont part it if it runs sell it whole and make a profit. how the heck did you get it up on that truck? looks like you barley had any room to work with.

damn i bet that thing is fast with a sr in it. what year is your truck? i do think it would look much better with the factory tach in it. unless you find a cool way to mount a aftermarket one in the cluster. might be a lot of work though.

better yet send it off to cmt's trick my truck.:cool:

god i hope it doesn't have that interior orange 70's color that came in the winnebegos. maybe put some titans on it.

you've come to the right place. there can never be enough nl320's around. btw thats some crazy shit right there. great work although i dont think you'll be haulin anything to the dump or home from home depot. show truck. are you sure you left enough room for the rubber? just messin with ya.

just breaking balls bro. no offense. jukism if you do have the 521 clock your the only forum member that does. it's the big foot of 521 options. more rare than ac, fog lights, or radio delete plate imo.

seeing that the 620 came out in 72 also i dont see that many 72 521"s (not sure how many were made) more so i see the 71's. the 3 point seat belt's are kinda hard to find. problem is that they dont retract.:mad: there was a killer write up on a 3 point added to a non 3 point on the nwde forum. i'll try to find it and post it later. no hidden nuts behind the pillars. mike i've never seen a late 71 with a 3 point belt. are we talking built in late 71 or titled in late 71?
