]2eDeYe Posted December 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 It came with the truck, it's basically a snug top copy of some sort. I haven't found any mfg information on it anywhere, sorry. 2 Quote Link to comment

]2eDeYe Posted January 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Still in work, it's a bit of a side project. 1 Quote Link to comment
goes2fast Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Still in work, it's a bit of a side project. If you make more than one, I'll buy one. I still can't get notifications, don't know why, none from here, facebook, or others except TDI forum is the only one I get anything from? 1 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted January 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Slodat will be selling them, for a reasonable price. You might PM him and see if you can boost his side project incentive :) 2 Quote Link to comment

draggster69 Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 Hello Everyone! I picked up my first ever Datsun a 521 Pickup and I love it. At the moment its completely stock except for the weber 32/36 carb and it being dropped 3 inches. It needs a lot of work but, I hope to bring her back. Didn't realize that parts were so hard to find until i started looking. :confused: Anyway, I'm happy that I found this forum and I think that the KA24DE swap into the 620 is awesome! not sure if it would fit in a 521 but I'm tempted to try. 2 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 Welcome the Ratsun draggster. Can't wait for you to start a project thread of your own in Project Datto or the 521 forums. http://community.ratsun.net/forum/6-project-datto/ http://community.ratsun.net/forum/44-521/ Pretty sure there are KA swapped 521 and (Steve) ]2eDeYe does make custom engine mounts for the 620 that might work in a 521. There is a wealth of information in the 521/620/720 forum on KA swapping and the SEARCH function. It's very important that you post pictures of your truck too... http://community.ratsun.net/topic/54932-photobucket-ratsun/ 1 Quote Link to comment

Welcome and thanks :) I am actually picking up the laser cut plates for my first run of KA521 mounts next week. I see you are in the NE, not a lot of Datsuns in the area. We do have plenty of members from that area though. Like Mike says, start a build thread in Project Datto and introduce yourself in General Discussion. 3 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted April 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 Did some work yesterday. Had to move a fridge and the lowboy is just right for this type of thing :D 6 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted April 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Went into Seattle to go through my storage unit. Was a lot of work but lunch was delicious. :D My muffler decided to impode upon itself a couple weeks ago. I took it off and ordered the cheapest glasspack I could get on ebay that would fit over the existing pipe. 14" with 1.75 ID. :lol: It was really loud, so today I put a turn down to keep the noise from bouncing around under the bed....it's still really loud though. :rofl: 7 Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 Running it all the way out will do the best at getting the noise toned down a little. The key is a little. 3 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted April 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 Oh I know lol, loud is entertaining me right now :lol: 2 Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 From what I've heard a 45 degree exit supposedly reduces noise as it blasts it both out and down, so reflected waves don't bounce back up in to the body. Not sure how true that is though 2 Quote Link to comment
