fisch Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 I've been into the thought of Morris trucks for a while, and wanted one before I got a Datsun. And I've wanted one with a nissan engine! I have seen a few w/ nissan heart transplants. If I found one w/ a nissan engine in my price range, it might be the one thing I would sell my 521 for. THough a 320 would really tempt me! Thanks for posting these ads btw, but it would be great if you actually posted a link directly to the CL ad. Especially if there are pictures! Link to comment
fisch Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 took me a second to dig it up! And yup there are pics! http://greenville.craigslist.org/cto/840983581.html Link to comment

fisch Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 ^^ Naw man I think it is great that you are posting these trucks, really! And welcome! Anyone who works on dattos and wants to add to the community in anyway is welcome here. And I feel your pain in trying to find Dattos on the east coast. I am in MA now, but lived in fairfax county VA during my highschool days. Heck every once in a while I will do a country wide craigslist search for dattos, and post them all in one massive thread with links. Your doing fine, just use that little paperclip over the planet on the tool bar above where you type your message.:) Link to comment

Duncan Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 I had a Morris Minor Van with an A14 and a 5-spd. Since I have a Datto, I was going to shorten an S10 chassis and stick it under the van with a small block Chevy. I'm getting too old for these multi-year fab projects, so I just recently let it go. I'll see if I have a pic. The A-series into a Morris is very common, but you don't see many Morris Minors around the USA too often. Here's a pic of the van. I'll see if I can find an engine pic somewhere. The stock Morris motors are so anemic, they can't get out of their own way! The std van rear axle ratio is 5:13 and top speed is 45 mph or so. Don't even think it'll stop! The brakes are worse than the original BMC motors.. Link to comment

fisch Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 No way Pete! My best friend went to west springfield! I lived in Burke and went to Lake Braddock. Graduated class of 90. Link to comment
ppeters914 Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 No way Pete! My best friend went to west springfield! I lived in Burke and went to Lake Braddock. Graduated class of 90. Way, dude. In the sixties, Burke wasn't where most folks would go. Think 'Deliverance'. I think there was one paved road. Heck, when we moved into West Springfield, they were still shooting deer near the golf course. Place is now wall-to-wall developments. Link to comment
