Datsun 620 1972 KA project "new member"

[Sqdro]

I just got a Datsun 620 couple months ago and I have a lot of plans for it, but school and work got me kind of busy. I work on it in my off days and weekends, I already done couple things like dropping the back, putting new rims and tires and others. Right now I'm having problems trying to get the front lowered by reindexing the torsion bars i cannot get them out those B are just TIGHT! Here are some pics of my little truck

Carlos! What a shame they are links, I hate links. I looked at two and gave up, sorry. Try opening a free Photobucket account and you can show toy pictures.... http://community.ratsun.net/topic/54932-photobucket-ratsun/

 

Looks like a '74 or maybe a '73 body. Good luck with those rims. :lol:

what size are those wheels and tires?

 

looks like a 4 inch drop but the tires could be throwing me off

I was trying to do that, but i got confused and did it with links. Next time i will post the actual pic

if you're going beyond 2 inch drop, make sure the rear axle is angled and i think you have to shim the carrier bearing after 3 inches. someone should come by with an answer on that

 

if not, pinion angle gets screwed up and not good for ujoints if they don't just bind

Will that because of the swap that I want to do or it has to be done because lowering the truck?

[hobospyder]

because of lowering the truck. nothing to do with engine, all about driveline. the angles on the ujoints have to be the same and can't be beyond a certain point. someone knows the science behind it, probably datzenmike, i don't know more than you have to have angled shims or blocks and possibly have to shim the carrier bearing. if going ka, you'll probably want a one piece driveline. i haven't done an engine swap yet so i don't know how the drivelines work with those but still, will need angled shims or blocks for the rear axle

Nice, I got the same wheels setup
