Dislexicdime Philcas1987 Dennis Or just about anyone you see with a complete SR in their car with pictures to prove they did it. I dont think you can use the SR mounts... Quote Link to comment
nippon-kid Posted June 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 I see I have to keep in touch with those guys lol. I need all the help I can get. But I guess I'll have to go find some 620 mounts.... Quote Link to comment
Draynor Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Cool car man! I love me a Coupe! I agree with Bonvo those wheels are sweet! Quote Link to comment
dennis Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 you can use new 510 mounts or 620 mounts. The best mounts for the job are McKinney Motorsports mounts http://mckinneymotorsports.com/prod_DATSUN+510+SR+SWAP+PARTS . You cannot use the stock SR mounts, they will not fit onto a reversed 510 crossmember. I used new 510 mounts and had to use a thick 2mm washer so my center link would not hit the transmission mounting flange on the engine. You do not need any spacers with the McKinney mounts plus they are beefier and you can get the poly pads with them. I will probably go this route in the near future. Topher has them in his 510, maybe he can chime in. Note, try to stay away from the McKinney stuff as much as possible. I have heard numerous quality issues with their cross members. You can have your cross member flipped by Futofab and you can buy your transmission cross member from Experimental Engineering or http://stores.ebay.com/Mr-510s-Store?_trksid=p4340.l2563 (mr.510 is experimental engineering). The sway bar is the tricky issue, Dan Gallmeister who use to have a shop DGR sells them on ebay when he does a production run. They usually sell out in a week or two. You can contact him on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/dan.gallmeister and see if he has one laying around or when he is going to get the next batch going. Quote Link to comment
screamer510 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 I like his non-chalantness. "Oh, just picked up a coupe." Looks like you've got a good support group. Good luck with the swap! Dan Quote Link to comment
dennis Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Like Bonvo said, I am just happy this guy knows a coupe from a sedan. when I first read the title I was like, oh another one who doesnt know the difference. Quote Link to comment

DISLEXICDIME Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 I am probobly going to switch to sr mounts I tore my l series mounts already. But I didn't use brand new lseries mounts that might be why they ripped lol Quote Link to comment

carterb Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 A 69 coupe on lonchamps? Nice combo! :thumbup: Is yours a SSS or basic? What dash and grill? Early '69 or late - 70+ style? I hope you have more photos to share. --carter Quote Link to comment
nippon-kid Posted June 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Thanks guys!! I was wondering Dennis are the poly mounts stiff? I don't want it vibrating my car too much wanna keep it smooth as possible. And I bought it for about 5gs and my dad already had a container ready from Japan with his stuff in it so I just stuffed the bluebird in there. Super x on yahoo Japan? I have no clue about the grill im confused about grills. Its a sss tho Quote Link to comment
sssr20det510 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 69 sss should have a cast grill very rare, also should have round gauges and tach Quote Link to comment
