Swapping z28 to Datsun L28

[markwillis_09]

Will it fit? And what can I do to make it fit, it's pretty long engine for the short nose of a 720! What should I do?

*Z24

 

Anything will work with enough time, money, and skill.

 

 

The question is, do you have all 3? It's not going to be an easy fit.

Ha oops *z24! Well what's easier vg30 or a L28?

VG30 will be easier. The L28 will need the shit cut out of the firewall and heater box. Not worth it at all.

Forget putting a L-6 in a 720.Nothing you gain will be worth the hasselvation.

To put a inline 6 cyl dat eng into your 720 truck is not worth the hassle. i have a 1980 datsun truck that I have put one into. You run into the domino effect, one problem after another. Without cutting the body you will not have room for a rad or fan. I cut off the rad support and extended the frame. I currently can drive around the around the block on open a-pipe. Just not worth the trouble.... I have decided to make my 720 a rat truck....I strongly advise not to try and shoehorn a Z car  6cyl eng into a 720 truck...As far as pictures go I do not have anuy current ones.....
