Shagy Posted June 15 Report Share Posted June 15 Long time 510 owner, 1st time 521 owner..... its rough, but I guess to be expected for one that's been sitting for a while. Looks like pretty much all the glass was smashed. Not sure what we're going to do with it. But in the meantime we'll clean it up and I'll have my oldest tinker with stuff. He is already talking about driving it in 4 years when he can get his license..... I'll be digging around the forums for a while to see more about these trucks. I'm looking at a possible newer 4 cyl / fuel injected set up. SR would be nice, S2k is going to cost WAY too much to source the engine. A friend of mine says to K swap it....1st we get rid of spider webs and glass pieces. 4 Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted June 15 Report Share Posted June 15 be hard pressed to even get a L motor in there and running Be easyer to buy mine when I get ready to sell it.1200$ but not ready yet. driving a single master cylinder I would not consider for a Newer younger driver , One really needs to up keep on these older vehicles. the 521 brake line rots out under by the fuel filler tube. (I know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted June 16 Report Share Posted June 16 If it aint alll rotted out fix it easy peasy. Parts are still plentiful and like Hainz said just convert to dual master cylinder and put some front disc brakes or just rebuild what you got as Arizona only monsoon months its dry and drum brakes will do fine. Kick that passenger door in and good to go. Quote Link to comment
NC85ST Posted June 16 Report Share Posted June 16 From Arizona, at least it should be solid. I hope you didn’t give much for it. It looks like it needs just about everything. Quote Link to comment

(I know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) In 2018 it was running. I looked at it then but the $ wasn't there for me. Sucks. Neighbor has a fee ideas on some newer FI'd engines. We'll see. I'll look into the dual master kit. This will be a teaching truck for at least 2 of my boys (3rd is too young). Quote Link to comment

It was priced right that the wife was okay with it...haha Not worried about much as we'll just bypass stock stuff and mod it to work.....down the road. 17 hours ago, mrbigtanker said: If it aint alll rotted out fix it easy peasy.

Hope to find someone closer to Phoenix Quote Link to comment
Shagy Posted July 4 Author Report Share Posted July 4 This looks like too many numbers for a paint code. Anyone have a clue what it is? Doesn't match the Vin. Quote Link to comment
pidge Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 Is that on the rad support? If so I’ve got that as well, but have no clue. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 Paint codes were usually foil stickers with ink letters. Long since fallen off. Likely something to do with the manufacturing when the support was stamped out. I looked up the rad support part numbers... nothing remotely close. Quote Link to comment
Shagy Posted July 4 Author Report Share Posted July 4 Yes it's on the core support. 1 Quote Link to comment
Shagy Posted July 15 Author Report Share Posted July 15 Have not had much time to spend with the truck. Got the inside kind of cleaned out and this back bumper taken off. Did these come on as a dealer option? I've seen similar ones in photos. Also looks like this truck make the trek from Washington to Arizona. 3 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 15 Report Share Posted July 15 May just be a custom one. Usually they are chrome and small with one on each side Quote Link to comment

Shagy Posted August 17 Author Report Share Posted August 17 We grabbed an L16 from a local 510 guy today. Now we need to find the oil pan and pick up tube. Forgot that they were not the same. Anyone close to Phoenix have one????? Replaced the engine mount bolts and in the process had to clean up the threads. Bolts didn't wanna come out smooth. 2 Quote Link to comment

Shagy Posted August 17 Author Report Share Posted August 17 Are the engine brackets the same?? I have mounts installed on the truck that look original but not sure about the brackets. Quote Link to comment

FYI the early 510's had the paint code STAMPED on the rad core support..............I think the foil stickers came in around 1970-1971. I think all of the 240Z's had the foil sticker. I will look at my 1972 521, after the rain stops!! 🤪 Quote Link to comment

That Offy intake is cool! 😎 If the 510 oil pan & pick up are decent, those are worth $100-150 easy! I will have a 620 oil pan.................if you find it will work, PM me! Also, if you decide to go with one of the POS "shorty" headers, that truck dual headpipe also has some value! I think the 510 stock exhaust manifold is the same as the truck, so hopefully that will line up with the truck downpipe! Quote Link to comment
