Wingzero Posted April 28, 2020 Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 (edited) What up Ratsun! Picked up this Roadster with no engine. Plans are to build a L20B to a 2.3 Liter Stroker and hook that up to a 5 speed L series transmission. I have names this project Datsun Roadster 2300. I also picked up another Roadster and plan to swap the flat dash onto the 69 Roadster. More to come! Edited May 2, 2020 by Wingzero Deleted bad photo Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted April 28, 2020 Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 Please do not use Photobucket, most cannot see your photos. When I clicked on them links I could see tiny photos of a Toyota, 2 of a white roadster and 3 of a dark rusty colored looking roadster, the photos are very small, I use Postimage and a lot of others do also without issues. 1 Quote Link to comment

Fetch Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 Wing, If you have not already, check out an L16 install and a KA24 first a 311's.org . The popular swap is the sr20 twin cam engine. Kits and wiring are available as well as brake upgrades. There is a complete install guide on 311's.org. Check it out first. http://www.311s.org/pmwiki-311/pmwiki.php?n=TechSection.EngineSwaps 1 Quote Link to comment

I definitely have used 311s forum as my main source for info and advice. I'm sticking with the L23 stroker since I already had an L20B engine that was donated to me. This is essentially the same engine that is in Daniel Wu's "Tanto" Datsun 510. L20B - Stock and stripped L20B crankshaft (86mm stroke) vs Z24 crankshaft (96mm stroke) Mahle Forged Pistons: 88mm Bore Quote Link to comment

BTW... what are you going to with the other roadster once you have transplanted the dash Hi Edward, I plan on building my stroker engine first and after that I'll get working on the transmission. I probably will be swapping the dash 1-2 years from now as interior and frame is the final stage of my project. Here's some progress I have completed for the L23 Stroker build. All of my aluminum parts have been vapor blasted at a local shop. Timing Cover Valve Cover Quote Link to comment
john510 Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 That 1600 valve cover is the one you should have blasted.😀 Quote Link to comment
mainer311 Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 How are you going to get the hood to fit with the L20b in there? Quote Link to comment
