dirtboy411 Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 its been awhile and plans went south, hadnt been home all summer in 2011. got my bird home to where im staying at now and plan on doing something noones done before. when i first got on here i planned on keepin the rl1600 stock, rebuild it and all that good stuff. ive had a long enough wait and time to think bout this. im taking the motor out, keeping the interior orginal and orginal paint. i was gonna swap the ka24e outta my 89 240sx coupe and put a sr20det into it and use the single cammer for the 411sss. but id rather not now. its been done by a few peeps already. not that its bad but i just dont want to go that way anymore. ive found something better!!!!! i know im gonna get shit for it but hey feed my fuel for the passion ive found for fabrication. nothing is impossible just gotta find the path to least resistance. :) so here it goes. it is a t-type for those not familiar with this motor, it comes out of a 86'-89' buick grand national. its a v6 turbo pushing 279bhp stock. curb weight of the buick roughly 3500lbs, curb weight of my 1967 rl411 is roughly 2000lbs. its gonna be a monster. this is what im after. hopefully ive found it. just a matter of getting paid and picking it up.

KC Phirus Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 I know of another datsun with a grand national v6 Do it. Buick makes a good v6. I've been trying to gather resources for putting an sc3800 in my 620. Also. the top end of the efi supercharge 3800 can be swapped to some other v6s Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 It will be great if you do it ... but we've heard this before, and they never finish it Quote Link to comment
dirtboy411 Posted January 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 i seen a 620 on youtube with this motor and it kicks ass. and ggzilla it will get done i promise. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 There's several Datsun 1200s with GM 3800 power. The 410 is about the same size, so it is certainly possible. Quote Link to comment

ZackTheImpaler Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 I'm with ggzilla. It will be sweet if you finish it but a driving datsun with a mild swap rocks a lot harder than a rolling shell in the garage. Plus the datsun gods send lightning bolts at people who don't finish swaps. Quote Link to comment

dirtboy411 Posted January 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 this would be a mild swap. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Swapping a 1.6 liter for a 3.8 liter is not considered a mild swap. And a GN engine is not a mild engine. Now I've never heard of a V6 in a 411, so you might have a unique vehicle when it is done. Quote Link to comment

ZackTheImpaler Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I was going to say that's a mild swap?! Haha I did a j15 swap, changed the oilpan and poof done. .2 liters more and call it a day. Like I said though awesome if you follow through I'm not hating at all. Just don't give up and let it sit is all. Quote Link to comment

Mojoslayer Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Hey if you want any tips or pic's on how to do it ....I have that motor in my 411 goon.Although I went with a Holly 4 barrel instead of a turbo. do to the lack of room for exhaust plumbing for the turbo & Did'nt want to have to deal with a CPU. put a H.E.I. dist. in there and you go., The only problem there is with that motor is that you have to put a high pressure oil pump in.they have problems keeping oil pressure over 10 to 12 psi at operating temp at idle..Anyways ...Good luck on the build If you have any questions shoot me a :P.M...

ggzilla Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 We suspected you wouldn't get it done -- we've heard talk like that before. It is possible to get an SR20DET swap in a 411, so best wishes. Cut & weld, she'll go in. Can't wait for the photos. Quote Link to comment

Can't wait for the photos. yeahhh. if i can still find a buick gn ill go through with the swap. i never got discouraged or anything like that. ive been searching 7 different cities for this motor and the only guy who had one sold it the day before i got paid. i had talked to him about the motor and everything. so the next best thing is the SR swap. i have a couple weeks til i start putting money on a motor, so until then my search isnt over for the v6. im not settling for anything else except one of those 2 motors.
