rome11six Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 So i picked up my 73 datsun 620 for $350 and she looked like this about three months after i got it the clutch started slipping so i just decided to drop a new engine in it since the compression sucked, and it just so happened i had a freshly rebuilt ka24de laying around. the last month iv been slowly getting stuff together like fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, custom drive shaft, new center link and reversing the tapper, fan, and other tid bit stuff. after last weekend i got the motor and tranny mounted and most of the wiring done and now all i need is the drive shaft and the fuel line and pump to get it running. This is after last weekend, hoping to get it running good in time for canby! Quote Link to comment

rome11six Posted May 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Well quick update i just picked up the cut and welded drive shaft from the shop and got it in, fits good just got to make a couple tweaks. now all i need is the fuel pump that ill order this Friday. Quote Link to comment
southern620 Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 How many inches you have to shorten it? Quote Link to comment
rome11six Posted May 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 i don't know exact but it wasn't much more than 1 inch maybe less. i had the shop match up the stock 4 speed front shaft length to the 240sx auto front shaft. i would have just used the 240sx front shaft but the spline didn't match.

]2eDeYe Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Not sure which slave cylinder you are using. I had to use the truck one, the car one hit the torsion bar. Can you could clearance the gusset with a grinder? Quote Link to comment
rome11six Posted July 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 It's bad quality but it's the truck slave I'm using and as far as cutting it I never though of that good idea! And this is the motor in running condition I moved it today about a foot then realized I forgot gear oil in the tranny, I also have to make a chain shifter for it since the seat is in the way ( forgot what issue its out of but project cars chain link shifter for the Datsun) Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 The H-190 came in 3.365, 3.545, 3.70, 3.889, 4.11, 4.375, 4.625 and 4.875 (maybe more) and are good for just under 300 ft. lbs. torque rating. More than enough for a DE. LSDs are only now available after market. Quote Link to comment
rome11six Posted December 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Ok so I lost one of the torsion bar bolts and was wondering if they are specific to our trucks or if I can pick one up at the part store? Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Should be able to pick one up at the store. You will need the anchor piece that the bolt goes through that holds the torsion arm. Quote Link to comment
rome11six Posted December 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Luckily I found them. Quote Link to comment
71kat510 Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 The H-190 came in 3.365, 3.545, 3.70, 3.889, 4.11, 4.375, 4.625 and 4.875 (maybe more) and are good for just under 300 ft. lbs. torque rating. More than enough for a DE. LSDs are only now available after market. a stock 240sx rear end ratio is a 4.08 which from my experience is a good setup with the engine until you do any highway driving 75mph is about 3k rpms which isnt bad with a stock exhaust but modified exhaust gets annoying and also keep in mind your speedo will be off and im sure its off already Quote Link to comment
