RudyV Posted February 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 The guy Wayno speaks of had every year and model 520/521 truck built ,,,,, NOT over time ,,,,, all at once.. And like the majority of real Datsun fanatics he`s a bit "eccentric" so he doesn`t do the internet.. But believe what ever you want...... Rudy,,, Do you still need measurements ? or are you going to buy 420620`s brackets?? i was thinking of making a template. having motor in, mid air and try making well a template. measurements would be nice! waiting on 420620 reply.

wayno Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 What I would do is go find someone with a 521 frame and have them cut off the stock mounts, or find another frame with mounts made in such a way that you can bolt them to your engine mount hardware, then lower the engine into position, connect the tranny mount, then lower the engine into position and start cutting/shaping the mounts to sit in your frame, once you have the engine just sitting in the frame and you are happy with it, tack the mounts into position, then unbolt the engine from the mounts, lift it up or out and weld the mounts to the frame. I did just this, I used 1980 720 4X4 engine frame mounts because they sat high enough to have extra metal to cut off and shape. Quote Link to comment

RudyV Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 used 620 mounts.... worked on it for maybe 4 nights, including taking engine out of both 620 and 521. tranny in. just need to get driveshaft shortened, after i pay my ticket. and plug up fuel line and what not. oh, also fine a way to put the alternator back on :rofl: im on a 13 hour shift today.
