pl521sss Posted February 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Here's that modified oil spray bar from a Z motor. Cam towers form that motor has the oil feed that goes to the bar itself. Alternative to the Nissan Comp spray bar that requires drilling through the valve cover and running oil feed from the oil sending unit. Cut in the middle then slightly larger tube insert over it.

1fstdat Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 My 521 wheel was cracked but I had a sweet Petri Wheel for a VW, I took and turned the 521 hub down to about an 1 1/2" and bored the center out of the Petri wheel to fit pressed it in and welded it, as long as you dont think about it, it works well. it also helps to have a lathe and TIG welder.

pl521sss Posted April 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Bearing Carrier Spacers Used an aluminum block @ 34 inch each. My brothers friend did it the machining. Slotted like the bracket. BTW, the bolts are SAE not metric Installed Went with 34 inch for now and check for vibration. I think most folks went with 1.5 right away Quote Link to comment
datto510 Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 I did the same thing last weekend. What a PITA to get those bolts in with the spacer! Quote Link to comment
pl521sss Posted May 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 So I got N42 manifold and cut it to make L4 EFI manifold. Just cut enough but still needs some trimming then weld. It has EGR, will this be a problem? Quote Link to comment

I'll let him tell rest of the story, let's just say it's not a Nissan\Datsun motor. Quote Link to comment
