I really hadn't looked. Haven't seen one in a salvage since the 90s. Around here most has their engines pulled for pickup trucks and then the bodies were crushed immediately. Old Ford windshields are fairly cheap, and easy to get. https://www.ecklers.com/1972-76-torino-montego-1972-79-ranchero-windshield-42-852134-1.html?T5_Var1=Catch+All&T5_Var2=search&T5_Var4=42-852136-1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwlPWgBhDHARIsAH2xdNegqlJHOnSAhPUM5q7tqweINEbtTANQ09slVDXHc-fGVt4OqUIljJUaAoarEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds&utm_campaign=Shop+-+Ecklers+-+Vehicle+DS+High+Tier&utm_content=|JRD+International&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&utm_term=PRODUCT_GROUP 2 Quote Link to comment

We just bought a Corvette a few months ago 😂 If it doesn’t break the bank get the car. You can tell her your Datsun sister said it was ok. She can be mad at me. I’m ok with being the asshole. I just added another car to my fleet. Not on a Datsun tho although I would like another. My husband was just joking about the fact that I now have 3 vehicles and he has one.

six2ohyea Posted March 28, 2023 Report Share Posted March 28, 2023 Has anyone done an engine swap on a later Datsun without any smog issues? Wondering if I can do an engine swap in my ‘78 620 and still pass smog legally Quote Link to comment

Yes, because we don't smog Datusns here. 😁 1 hour ago, six2ohyea said: Wondering if I can do an engine swap in my ‘78 620 and still pass smog legally The only way to do it legally is you must have all the smog equipment from the donor vehicle in place and functional. If you do, you should be fine. Quote Link to comment

Problem is CARB is douchy and you aren't even allowed to go from a manual to an auto or vice versa l, and other rere stuff Quote Link to comment
Satisaii Posted March 28, 2023 Report Share Posted March 28, 2023 I did a CARB legal swap on a Miata. It was a PITA. It was a 91 and I swapped in a 2005 drivetrain, which should be just an OBDII check for DTC's but every shop I took it to wanted to test it as a 1991 Miata. I got tired of it and allowed one to test it and it failed since they could not set the timing (adjustable on the 91, fixed on the 05.) Once it had failed it has to go back to the ref. I parted it out and moved on. Too much trouble. Quote Link to comment

six2ohyea Posted March 29, 2023 Report Share Posted March 29, 2023 Anyone ever deal/ order with Datsun Garage? I just saw their reviews on FB and now I’m worried. I placed an order this past weekend and still haven’t got a tracking number on my order. Quote Link to comment
