datzenmike Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Hmmmm... remove heater and start cutting the firewall and tunnel out. Get a disc brake kit from on here. 'Cuz you WILL need to stop that thing. Did you keep the torsion bars, I can't see them. If they are gone you don't need that bolt in brace across under the pan. The diff is 4.375 and many 2wd 720s have 3.889 or 3.70 even down to 3.545 and lower that you can just. bolt the pumpkin in. Someone asking about putting a V8 in a 620 is kind of cliche around here. Doing it is another story. Good luck with this. Quote Link to comment

K_trip Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Welcome Your post reminded me of a Datsun that got some press after the 2009 SEMA show ... ... small block powered 620 for the strip. Sounds like fun to me! Here is a link to some more of this truck http://www.hubgarage.com/mygarage/jake1963/vehicles/45171 Good luck with it - and keep us posted 1 Quote Link to comment
pharouh Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 A 30's style straight front axle in a 620? I want to see that. Are you going to use coliovers or go with a leaf spring? Quote Link to comment
