I'm tellin ya, people that live in Indiana are all borderline retarded.

[nismo dr]

maybe it was the only motor he could find thats mileage matched the 180k(i think thats what that blurry pic says)on the chassis

[Pumpkn210]

You dropped this!

[Jesse C.]

Nissan in a Nissan. What is wrong with that?

[tbubar]

I bet he's riding around in a 280z with the engine out of his Z31...

[MicroMachinery]

Never thought I'd see that. He's just creative; probably not retarded.

 

You could've easily posted this in the engine swap thread(without the harsh criticism).

[metalmonkey47]

Ehh, I'd prefer a VG, but I'd take an L28

 

Who's to say he's retarded when most of us here have dome some pretty odd swaps. Remember that Maxima with the L28 that just joined? Not my prime choice, but I applaud the guy that did the work for his creativity!

[FoxyRoadster]

bet it sounds cool though, I need that engine for my roadster :lol:

[datsun723]

I think it's badass :cool:

the maxi is not that wild of a swap, considering they came with L6's, still cool tho

[hang_510]

I think it's badass :cool:

...maybe could be :rolleyes: if it more than 'cranks fine' and actually moved the car

 

 

hes got my vote for this year so far

Hey,I know a lot of people that act retarded and they moved here from somewhere else. Can't blame the location.

Whatever happened to the 510 with the GMC truck engine? Now that's retarded.

[Papi Chulo]

Op you suck

[yellowdatsun]

Dang. That's all I gotta say.

[KB100]

I've seen an S13 with an L series swap. Pretty nasty.

 

 

Once upon a time I bought a 510 two door with an A12 swap with wooden motor mounts. I bought it 50 miles from the Mexican border. Whoever did the swap could have gone to Mexico and gotten the factory parts to do the swap properly, but instead the just put a dent in the oil pan to clear the crossmember and long bolts through the crossmember and 2x4s. I only bought it because he told me it was an original Mexican car before I drove 300 miles to look at it and it was a rust free shell. These are the days before the internet so pictures were out of the question.

 

 

This guy's L28 Z31 looks like an inspired engineering masterpiece by comparison.

I'm putting my 2.6 Liter g54B motor/tranny driveline etc into my '76 Datsun. There is nothing wrong with working with what you have much like that guy obviously is or fully customizing your vehicle (if you do it right and it runs well). On that note..my L18 drive train will be up for sale shortly in the classifieds.

[sick620]

L28 is better than a VG. That was a good swap to do. They are easier to work on too.
