72dat Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Does anyone know which model came with a front sump that will bolt up to my L18. I need to clear the cross-member in my 1200 so the rear mount wont work. I've talked to a few guys on datsun1200.com and they all sourced them from models not in north america. Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 My sons 1979 510 wagon has a front sump ( L20B ) Quote Link to comment
72dat Posted November 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 ok awesome thanks. now i have a direction to search. :) Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 I should have added that those cars don`t exactly grow on trees either..And i am going to throw in a couple of shots of pan, since engine is still scattered all over garage right now.. Quote Link to comment
Willdatsun Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 I probably have one of these if you get stuck (but I'm in England) as we had these on 810 and 910 models. (L16/L18 powered) Quote Link to comment
72dat Posted November 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Thanks for the pics banana. i'll try my luck for now at the wreckers willdatsun, thanks for the offer Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Cars were front sump. Trucks were rear. Go look for a 610 with an L18, or a 510 with an L16. Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 z20E was front sump too. (200sx motor) Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Older 510s ( the type you know as 510 ) are rear sump, trucks are a middle-ish rear ... my sons 79 510 is that newer squared off style. I have no dealings with 610s though Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 I could totally be wrong then. Fucking assumptions. :unsure: Quote Link to comment
72dat Posted November 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 If there is one on the z20e i could probably just buy the set up new eh? or even the later 510? Quote Link to comment
72dat Posted November 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 well i called around and didn't have any luck at a new oil pan for the L20b or z20e. Do you know if the pick up is the same? i'm thinking that i could take the old oil pan, cut off the bottom then turn it around and weld it back on. I'm wondering though if i still need to find the pick up or if the old one will work and i just turn it around also. Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 I may have a spare Z20E pan that I'll be willing to get rid of. I'll have to go dig through my stash Quote Link to comment
72dat Posted November 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 That would be swell metalmonkey. I'm getting so close to getting all the stuff together. Quote Link to comment
