datzenmike Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Tunedbytad LS7 427 73' 620 again last thread got locked.. there was question to my project being legit http://community.ratsun.net/topic/69757-tunedbytad-ls7-427-73-620/ There was lack of interest on your part.... you abandoned it. So stop posturing and post something about a Datsun 620. It would be nice to see a V8 swap that was actually finished. 3 Link to comment

G-Duax Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Never understand facination with 'merican V8' swaps. Unless they have a blower, or turbos, I haven't found many that can take my 183ci Japanese 6-cylinder. No factory one ever has, and the only 2 that have were purpose built street racing cars. And the ones with a supercharger, or turbos are hard pressed to take a Japanese 6-cylinder with a turbo. Good luck with your 'wow' project, you will get a lot of 'wows' from people who don't know any better. 1 Link to comment
Ron1200 Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 OK, I can see that. It's got a cop motor. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks.... Let's see where this goes. 4 Link to comment
Fast720 Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Wow ..............haters are going to hate Well I like to keep my build all Nissan but that doesn't always workout . I am also fond of the LS series , the new all aluminum ones are putting out 500 + HP and almost equal numbers in torque , and that's all day long , the one thing about the push rod little piglets is they are very narrow compared to the twin overhead cam Japanese V8's so they make a good swap motor for small car bodies . Just my 2 cents ................If I had the cake I would put one in something for sure. Cheers and good luck with your project so far so good . 5 Link to comment

INDY510 Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Don't let that one guy discourage you from posting here ... I think it's an awesome idea if you don't shorten the Caprice chassis, you could use a 620 king cab and a 620 long bed (but shorten the bed wheelbase by 2.5") .. the only problem is width. Is the Caprice really 77" wide? That's like 17" wider than a stock 620. 3 Link to comment
