trout104 Posted September 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 ya he's a LUCKY kid..got a call today from a another bud. Just gave us a 1980 720, the body is a complete write-off. but has a good 2L and a 5 speed with a rebuilt clutch[more parts]. i'll post pics later. Can I use the M/C and the clutch m/c from the 720 to the A10. thanx Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Clutch m/c... likely. Brake master is likely too large a diameter and will hit your steering column (under) or clutch m/c (beside). Quote Link to comment

MicroMachinery Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 You can use the engine parts to make a screaming, high-comp LZ20. Most 80 720s I've seen came with l20b's, not the z20. Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 Duh. He has a Z20 in the A10. + He has an L20B in the 720. --------------------------- Motor build filled with awesomeness! Quote Link to comment

Jester Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Sorry, I just mis understood what you were saying. Looking again it should have been an easy one for me to understand. :blush: I meant nothing by that statement. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment
tr8er Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Ahhh. Internet intonation problems. The LZ is good idea given this situation. An A10 with an LZ sounds awesome. Quote Link to comment

trout104 Posted September 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 needs carb m/c and the dizzy hooked back up, and probably some extras. Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 ....One kid is happy, now for the other...damn good thing I didn't have more..lol If you had more you would have a great excuse to have more Datto's. :lol: Quote Link to comment
Z chopper Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 can you snag some pics of the 79 a10 2 door sedan in that junkyard? I have been on a search for many years for the right datsun for me but keeping coming up second. You can use the engine parts to make a screaming, high-comp LZ20. 1980 720 would still have an L series not a z series engine I see that was pointed out a couple posts after. Quote Link to comment

fritzdixxon Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 There is a guy by red deer who posts random dats on Kijiji every now and then. It may be a lead to something. And if you find 2 I need one lol. Quote Link to comment
