sick620 Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 I have a perfect body 520 I scored and I need to figure something out for a drivetrain. I want to go the easiest/and cheapest route. I have been looking for a jseries with NO LUCK If you have one let me know. Has anyone done an L series swap? that seems like the cheapest way out because I have an awesome one in my garage.... But I hear the engine mounts and transmission mount and driveline have to all be fabricated. Will an Aseries bolt in? That would be a cheap way to go if so. If I have to mod all the mounts and driveline shouldnt I just wait a while and save and drop a small block in? I kind of want to keep it nissan though so maybe a KA? Has anyone KA swapped there 520? But again I want to do this cheap and easy. so if you have an idea let me know. Quote Link to comment

Charlie69 Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 The 520 is 5" shorter between firewall & radiator support frame. I am in the process of doing a L20B swap in a 66 520 at the moment. Check out my build thread for the problems when installing a L20B in a 520. Also my solutions for the problems as I have addressed them. :D Quote Link to comment
