stillachevyguy Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 I got me a datsun! it was too cheap to pass up so i said i gotta have it. its a 69 521. been sitting in a field in the same spot for the past 20 years! sure it looks like a terrible pile,and its missing damn near everything,and the frame is rotted through in some spots,but the floors are solid,it has the front fenders and a clean title pink slip.

wayno Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 It has the delete plate also, that's a rare object anymore. Clean it up and see what needs to be done, might be a swap in this trucks future, ya think. There are many good engines that fit this truck, a KA would be a good one. Quote Link to comment
stillachevyguy Posted December 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 well the frame in the front looks like swiss cheese :blush: so im CONSIDERING swapping it on a later model 2wd toyota running gear and stuffing in a built ford 2.3 and a 5 speed Quote Link to comment
laotsu Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Look at that dashpad! it looks perfect, how is that possible with that giant hole in the winshield? Chevy's are cool, Fords suck ass Quote Link to comment

Chevy's are cool, Fords suck ass the problem is,2.3 has serious aftermarket support. the 2.5 chevy doesnt. and i know just about nothing about datsun motors other than they are not as available here Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Ford V8 is the way I'd go Nissan KA24 stock makes more power than built Ford 2.3 2-barrel, but if you get it at a good price, GO FOR IT Quote Link to comment
stillachevyguy Posted December 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 i already have the 2.3 out of the old race car. figure i'll re ring it and go. lookin more for mileage and simplicity. and since its what i know,it just makes more sense to me than a motor i couldnt identify then deal with electronicals crap Quote Link to comment
