LAYEDOUTB2K Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 those stripes and logo really fit the rest of the truck. i just noticed in some of the pics your upper wishbone angle looks kind of weird. it looks like your instant center is on your lower link. it could also just be the angle of the picture but i just noticed that.

LAYEDOUTB2K Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 that pinion angle sounds real good but your instant center also has an affect on your antisquat and roll axis. its something that gets overlooked quite a bit in minitrucks which is fine if your building mainly a show cruiser but can make a noticable difference in everyday driving.

Pacific coast Datsun Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Kool details on the engine...chrome is good ;) Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 thanks,i would like to run a L serise,but the j13 barely clears the hood:( why not run an a series? dual sidedrafts would look bad ass under say a tilt hood :D Quote Link to comment
SurgeL320 Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 thanks,i would like to run a L serise,but the j13 barely clears the hood:( Hey man checking out your build... dammed good work ! Im installing a L20 in my 320 im sure you can too but you got a nice engine already so why bother. Any plans on the interior? Im going old school on mine Quote Link to comment
impala_631 Posted June 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 thanks,the j13 is almost popping thru the hood cause of the bodydrop,im wanting to run a stock hood,maybe a rotary swap if the datsun engine gives me too much trouble,planing on doing red/black hotrod style interior:) Quote Link to comment
CharlieBucket Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 great work as always. i am glad you are sticking with the old paint. the j and a series series datsun motors must be great on a mini-truck since they are tiny and tend to sit really low. cool details on your motor too.
