minimechanic Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Hey i got a '79 620 thats been sitting for the past 23 years, its already had a Z22 swap in the mid 80's. but the motor overheated and burnt out, looking for a Z22 diesel to drop in her though. looking for tips and suggestions Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Why a Diesel? Those things are literally gutless. I'm assuming for the MPG? You can get a good stock carb'd L20B, drive it easy, and get 30+MPG I'm sure. Plus it's easier to find, cheaper on parts, and more powerful. not to mention it's a straight bolt in engine.

Cahoon520 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Do it I havent seen a Sd22 620 yet! Quote Link to comment
Dat Lurka Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Yeah lot of people talk about it. I would if I had the engine. It would be a first that I know of. There are a couple 520/521s with sd22. Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 This is a monumental task. Ask Wayno. Quote Link to comment
