cookiemonster131 Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 hey guys, can you change the intake and carb from a 521 or 620 and put it on a datsun 1600 roadster. will it clear the hood and work? Quote Link to comment
exit64 Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Why? You are going to get better performance out of the dual SU's, they are easier to rebuild and they are twice as cool. Go over to www.311s.org and look at the top of the page at the wikki. There is an excellent carb section. You should also look at Ztherapy's website. If you have the money, do two things to your roadster. Get Ztherapy carbs and get a Dave Brisco electronic dizzy. Your car will run like it was meant to. At forty years old now, you can pretty much be sure that both the carbs and dizzy need some attention. Quote Link to comment
67411sss Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Quick answer NO.. the 521 and 620 have L series engines and the roadster has the R series. Quote Link to comment

exit64 Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 There is a link over on 311s. The vendor is East Coast Roadster or do a search for Dave Brisco. Quote Link to comment
FoxyRoadster Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 The SU carbs are actually extremely easy to work on, a basic regasketing of the carb and new floats is super easy. Quote Link to comment
