blackdeth666 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Just picked up a 1970 521 from a friend. its my first datsun and im diggin it! Its got a L20 with SU's a dogleg tranny, Z flywheel and a few other goodies. Came with a set of rust-free doors and fenders that i'm contemplating putting on because the truck has a nice patina and the new parts are dark red. what i do know is its gettin dumped! I also picked up a 510 rear end. I'm goin back and fourth on puttin it in. has anyone here done this? also how many inches can i drop the front by reindexing the t-bars and removing the stops?

]2eDeYe Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Welcome, you can get about 5" in the front, the ride quality goes down the more you lower it though due to shock travel. Quote Link to comment
fisch Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Welcome. Always glad to have another 521 around!!! Quote Link to comment

banzai510(hainz) Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 if you have a 510 wagon diff it might work but there might be a spine count difference for the spider gears. YOu might have to swap these. somebody should know on here. SRSANDs PM him. i know he put a 720 diff in I believe Quote Link to comment
blackdeth666 Posted January 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 not sure where the pics went.... its a 510 independent rear suspension setup. also does anyone know of shorter shock to run upfront after the drop? my stockers are too long Quote Link to comment
