flatcat19 Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 75 620. You already have an L20B without all the emissions BS added. Get it running and enjoy it. When you get a real feel for it it's like to own/drive a Datsun then you can start thinking about swaps. You may find that you really like the L motors and stick with it. 2 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Easiest? for a '75 would be a '75 to '77 engine they are identical. If a car engine use the truck oil pan. Next would be the '78-'80 L20B from a car or truck. There are more differences but you could uses the manifolds from your engine. L16/18 would be a step backwards less power and more work fitting it. Did you really mean larger more powerful? Well then it wouldn't be easy would it? Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Do you know anyone with a Dodge 318 engine and trans laying around you could get for free?? That seemed to be a really good option a couple years ago. Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Ka24 swap is simplified by buying motor swap mount kit from Redeye. You will see a thread about them in the classifieds discussion section. Engine wiring is simplified by using a can/Am box from Icehouse. There is a thread called "how to wire an sr, ka, vg into anything" that talks all about it. Redeye is working on an SR swap kit now. Yello620 did a vg swap without insane amounts of fabrication.

flatcat19 Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 No. Just years of trial an error to get Yello's truck to actually all fit together properly. That thread is an awesome source of "don't do it like this..." That truck was bad ass though. Sounded awesome in person. 2 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 easy motor swaps for a dutsun 620 Title says it all.... unless he really means motor and not engine. Then there are no easy motor swaps. Quote Link to comment
KoHeartsGPA Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 L20b is simple and plenty torque for a fun ride, go side draft(s) if you wan't to make things interesting without fab work. Get her road ready, enjoy! Quote Link to comment
DaBlist Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Do you know anyone with a Dodge 318 engine and trans laying around you could get for free?? That seemed to be a really good option a couple years ago. You'll have to teach him how to stand around bare foot and talk the 318 owner to death Quote Link to comment
Rick-rat Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 There are no easy swaps for a Dutsun that I am aware of. Which country got the Dutsun's? Quote Link to comment
