V8 in 620

[PandaStar]

Rolls Royce-Allison 250 series gas turbine engine would have the holy f*** value (320-HP turbine with approximately 425-ft/lbs of torque @2000rpm) . Since they are used in the Y2K superbike size is not a problem for under the hood and it runs on diesel, kerosene or Jet A for fuel. one was put into an Chevy S10

OOOh I would like to see that actually.

well looked cool but still think it would be a bit of a pain to keep running?

the price of the engine and all the fabrication work is the p.i.t.a., but diesel is about the same price as regular gas up here

Well that's a good point. Did't think about maintaining it. Maybe try a l20b with a nap z heasd then? Don't remembe the term for that t t's a non stockpower option

 

Shit! I got that backwards... it's a nap z with an l20b head. Such a newb sometimes. at least i know it tho right?

[PandaStar]

Nap Z with an L20b head any of them on here with Pics?

[converted_to_datsun]

I'll look for pics online but apparently it just bolts right up and gives the nap z more displacement. Oh and I also learned you can use mechanical fuel injection from an old volkswaggen

I think you mean a NAPS Z22 or Z24 motor with a better breathing L series head on IT.

[converted_to_datsun]

Yep z22 sorry I usually stick to l series. A buddy of Mine had a z22 he was gonna build up if he couldn't find a l20b

and they didn't even need to cut the firewall.

Has a 62 Olds small block in it. Back in the late 70s a lot of guys were doing this.

 

[PandaStar]

that thing is so clean you could eat off of it.

I've got a chevy 355(325 horsepower) in my 620 now(had a 327 when I bought it 5 years ago)..... My firewall was cut, and a 6" "dog house" was welded in. But I need to shorten a Ford 9" rear first, as the stock Datsun rear cannot take any abuse(blown up 3 so far).

 

I just purchased a GM L33 aluminum 5.3 Litre with a Corvette LS6 top end....will probably start on that swap next year.

 

A typical Gen 1 small block chevy can be done, there are a few around here... as far as the Ford Coyote/Modular 4.6/5.4 litre....I think it might be just too wide(at the valve covers) to fit in a typically stock Datsun engine bay. A small block Ford has been done too, with lots of room to spare(disty is on the front).....up to you, and your capabilities/budget!!!

Be different AND keep it Nissan. Do a Titan 5.6 L V8.

[AWSpoofwil]

personally if i had the money, id put a 2JZ in it :D 6 cylinder, 3 liter twin turbo Toyota Supra engine lol

[bass]

i test drove that 4x4 v8 620, it has an olds aluminum race engine, it was not safe, way to much hp and torque. i ended up buying a 1972 620 with a sylvia sr20 turbo,/5speed its fast sounds awsome and looks kool when you pop the hood.

[K_trip]

Hey bass, just wondering ... are you selling a 620 4x4 on Craigslist these days?

Actually if I do go big I am thinking of doing a nissan/datsun v6 IF....I don't do a turbo engine. Need something decent on gas and pretty easy to build I don't want to be stuck in the garage for years building this lol.

[bass]

k-trip, i am selling a 620 4x4 on craigslist

[sick620]

do a vq45de quadcam v8 out of an infiniti q45! :)..... jk,,,,,,, theres 100's of 620s with v8's. with the fabrication skills its deffinantly easier and cheaper than a sr or something.

[sick620]

[bryant2482]

4 cylinder kubota diesel!!

[831Sunny]
