Krisko Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Ok, so I am at a point where I want to do something in the trucks engine bay.. I've thought about engine swaps (really wanna do a 5.6 Titan engine, but it's out of my budget!) Not being much of an engine guy, I was curous what you guys thought I could do to my 86 Nissan 720 engine. I obviously want something cool and powerful. My truck is obviously a show truck, so it has to be something outside of just a dressed up stock engine. I've heard of turbos, sidedrafts, head swaps.. not real sure what I need to get myself into. Any help? Quote Link to comment

flatcat19 Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 http://community.ratsun.net/topic/996-jason-grey-info/ About the 4th post down... L head onto a Z24 block isn't the easiest task. Would be just as easy to go VG or KA Quote Link to comment

Would be just as easy to go VG or KA No...not an 'easy' task at all. A little more involved than just the engine....L head on a Z24 in a 720 But.....good learning curve.....gotta start somewhere. :D Looks like this....now just add whatever carburetion you like.

izzo Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Get a KA motor from a hardbody, drop in, bolt in. Youll want the 240sx intake and wiring, its less messy and easier than the truck wiring/intake. Then wire in the 4 wires, and buy icehouse's Can Am box... Done deal. 155HP stock, fuel injected motor.
