Visa is ready!

 

Nice!  So worth it!  

 

But I have rear sump!!!!!

 

Swap to front! 

 

 

but how much?

 

A bit haha more than we wanted but it ended up requiring more parts than we thought.  Like steering arms.  We will have final pricing and a web sight up by Canby.

Awesome, you guys rock! It looks like tab and slot construction. Are we going to get to weld it ourselves?

Bad assss!

 

Please don't sell them all by the time I am actually in need of it.

 

haha no way it would be cool to have to do another run :)  

 

 

Or should I say.... please don't stop making them... lulz

 

That won't happen.  Been into 510's since I've started driving.  Even if not one person bought one I would still make them for myself :) 

 

 

That is a pretty thing, looks like it should be on a bad ass robot!

 

You need one for your 2 door!  

 

This

 

 

And this

 

 

And let me add in don't run out/stop making until I can afford it

 

 

won't happen.  510 for life!

Just as a thought -

 

When you guys build your website, put in some notes about where to find front sump conversions for each engine series, like

 

KA - 240sx or Altima

VG - Quest/Villager or Infiniti M30

 

But maybe with better detail.

 

Or maybe offer "front sump conversions" on your website for an additional fee?

And someone correct me if I am wrong, but I think the only option for a front sump L-series is the 1980 HL 510. I've read it was the wagon, but are the other style HL's different? Either way, might be tough to find. But you are right, I want one of these for my 2-door! (But I have a few other thing$ to attend to on that 73 before I worry about steering, so sell the hell out of them and make more!)

Will do!  Some help from fellow ratsuners will be needed.

78-80 510 and 78-80 200sx if I remember correctly.  Super easy to find, lots of junk yards have them.  Sam got his for 50 bucks.  We had to build a pickup tube though.   It also required a slight dent to miss the crossmember.  That may have been due to the wore out motor mounts.

200SX is 77-79. And the pickup tube can be scavenged from the Z20/Z22 cars also (80-83 200SX). 

 

I have a stock L series front sump pan as well as a 7qt comp pan.  B)

It was over 10 years ago, before the front sump sway bar setups, its made its self useful for sure!.

 

Aww I see. 

 

 

I'll take the rear sump KA24DE oil pan and pick-up tube .. :lol: .. I need it for my bagged 710s

 

 

 

 

It's sure is nice having the cross member in front of the pan on a low car.

 

 

Won't help.   Took out the pan too.
