DTSN510 Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 I recently purchased this car, in Ridgefield Washington, from someone that knew nothing about it. I would really like to know what power train was planned for it. My best guess is a rotary or a S2000. Any help would be great !!!

datzenmike Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 It's a clean canvas, don't feel that you have to complete what someone else left. Weird floor hump though. Quote Link to comment
KlassicMotion Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 I second, Mike's comment. But, I understand your desire to find out what was planned for it. Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Looks like the put in the clearance to run the 5 speed behind a ka/sr/vg, but they made it flat from the heater back instead of following the angle of the stock tunnel. Looks like a solid shell though, good buy! Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Is there a cross member in the engine bay? If not-put a member in and go L. Glad that you got it before an SBC found it's way there. Quote Link to comment
DTSN510 Posted August 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 I agree, I love the fact that it is a clean canvas! I would love to keep it Nissan!!! I never considered a bastardize swap. But if it is setup for a S2000 Wow!!! I might have to take the criticism. I hate to not take advantage of all the nice work that has already been done. Quote Link to comment
KlassicMotion Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Looks like the put in the clearance to run the 5 speed behind a ka/sr/vg, but they made it flat from the heater back instead of following the angle of the stock tunnel. Looks like a solid shell though, good buy! At first I thought the same thing, but to me it's looks excesively tall, and I don't thing the shifter hole is far enough back for the KA or SR tranny. I will keep mine Nissan, but if I had a blank canvas, I'm sorry but, I'd stick an aluminum 347 small block Ford in it..... I loved my 408hp/439 tq 347 in my '65 Fastback. You would have traction issues in the 510, but I'd be grinning from ear to ear.... Even if not a V8, I prefer at least 100 hp per 1000 lbs in a car. 150hp might be the better number per 1000 lbs.

q-tip Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 The hole is far enough back, the tunnel is just 3" or so tall and what looks to be flat from where the heater box ends back. A big hump like that might be for.the 4l71b auto, but the round hole kinda negates that. Quote Link to comment
KlassicMotion Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 The hole is far enough back, .... Ah.... picture 165 does show the hole far enough back..... I should look at all the pictures first. I'm curious, how much of the car did you get? Is it all there? Are you planning to put it on the street or the track? Quote Link to comment
DTSN510 Posted August 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 What you see is what I got. A new windshield,in the box and a partially installed new headliner. Also a disc brake conversion in the rear! :thumbup: What led me to think it was built for a rotary or S2k was other builds with the same tunnel mod. Quote Link to comment
DTSN510 Posted August 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 This is a picture from another S2K swap. Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 That's sure what it looks like... .....that there is a lot of trans tunnel.. Quote Link to comment
