5speed swap

[Jamesb]

I have a '78 long bed with the 4-speed transmission, which does not do so well on long distances. Does anyone know which Datsun 5-speed tranny's are compatible with an L20b?

FS5W71B same drive shaft length as the 4 spd.

'77-'79 620

'77-'78 280z

'79-'83 280zx

'79-'83 810/Maxima

 

FS5W63A drive shaft needs to be lengthened

'77-'79 200sx

'78-'80 (U.S.) '78-'81 (Can.) A-10

 

FS5R90A

'82.5-'83 280zx turbo. it fits the motor but an insane amount of modding to make this work. I only listed this for fun.

More replies should resemble this one. Just picked up a 76 620 and seems there's alot of lack of standard upgrade into on these. The obvious disc brake change-overs and 5 speed upgrades are a pain to find. If anyone has good, solid break downs like this for clutch/ pedal, disc brake stuff, trans mounting bracket, etc. info, I'd really appreciate it. I am also looking for suspension stuff too. Car stuff is everywhere. And BTW I'm talking 2WD road driving stuff. These trucks are gorgeous and I'd love to see more street rodded out.
