SR20DETdatsun510 Posted January 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Picked up an S14 short Block for $100. Still has the internals, timing, oil pump and girdle. The cylinders are in great shape too. Just waiting for my other parts and I can send it all out... It spun a bearing. I found a few cm sized shavings of what looks like bearing material in the bottom of the girdle. I have not got a chance to tear it down yet. Do you think there is a chance the journals are messed up? It still turns over but not easily. UPDATE Tore the block apart and found that the #3 rod spun a bearing. Not sure if the Rod or crank can be saved but the block is in perfect shape! Good to go! Quote Link to comment
philcas1987 Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 yup. But you can have it machined. Or source a good crank. I would opt for it being machined. So everything is to spec Quote Link to comment

So everything is to spec Actually now that you said it, I have a brand new crank for it. I was going to wait till I had the kit to tell but I am officially going SR23DET. I just got, for an out of this world price, a BC stroker kit with upgraded rods, 89mm pistons, Darton sleeves and all the ARP hardware plus head bolts all WPC treated. I am going to go with 5 hole bearings so the journals will be machined. Quote Link to comment

Some 240sx guys are retarded and strip the oil pan,timing cover or turbo feed banjos. at what point is too much? Lol Quote Link to comment

Some 240sx guys are retarded and strip the oil pan,timing cover or turbo feed banjos. At what point is too much? Lol I'll check all the threaded holes but it looks to be fine. I bought the block so I don't have so much down time with my car. Build the engine, then pull my motor, swap out parts I need and re-install. Hope it's that easy but I doubt it..... :cool: UPDATE: Tore block down and there was a spun Rod bearing on #3 but the crank journals were pristine! Don't know if the rod and crank can be saved but the block is good to go! Whew! Quote Link to comment
TipTricky Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 First time posting on the forums. That make me a noob. I just picked up my first datsun a little while ago planning on doing a Chevy small block 327 swap into it ratsun style haha. Any suggestions for a radiator the V8 in the small car might get a little warm. Oh and your car looks amazing! Im on a limited budget and it will take a lot of time but some day my car will look as beautiful as yours. Quote Link to comment

Ratsun style is doing what you want though... Sometimes that is a V8... But most importantly, We try to keep these build threads focused on the car at hand. Questions are great, and while the desire to make your car look like this one is awesome, the goal of your post really has no similarity to this thread. (Maybe finding a thread about a V8 in a 510). Welcome aboard! Quote Link to comment

I would not really know anything specific about swapping a V8 into a dime but it's been done allot. I do know it will run hot and cooling is a major issue with V8 swaps cause of limited space for a rad. A friend of mine even relocated his dual rad setup into his trunk because of no space. But that was an LS- V8 and totally custom install. I am sure there are plenty of threads here about V8 swaps. Welcpme to Ratsun!! Um ratsun style is not a V8 in your 510, keep that in your camaro.

SR20DETdatsun510 Posted February 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Well, it's been a while since I have had any updates. Just been trying to amass parts and get the logistics ready for the build... I've bought new rocker arms for my built head, a Tomei Rocker Arm Stopper Kit and I finally got all the stroker parts I've been waiting for. Now I have to get all the parts together to ship out. My BC 91mm Stroker Kit contains a 91mm Forged Billet Stroker Crank (wpc treated), JE 89mm Forged Pistons, Crower Forged I-Beam Rods. Good for 800hp I am told. Heavy Duty 9310 Series Wrist Pins (wpc treated), Ductile iron plasma top rings, tapered second ring, low tension oil rings, All ARP Hardware, ACL GTi-R 5 hole Bearings Rod, Main and Thrust Bearings, Nismo Pilot Roller Bearing, ATI Super Damper, Darton Sleeves and Mazworx 90mm Head Gasket. Prob a few things I am forgetting... I've been researching this allot and being my first engine build, I have found that a stroker motor is not so easy. So I am going to leave this engine build up to the professionals over MAZWORX. I've gotten a good quote and they are paying attention to all the details unlike ALL the other shops I have contacted. Plus I KNOW I will have a bad ass motor that is built right. I'll save my first engine build for the SR that is currently in my Dime. Here are some pics... Quote Link to comment
Topher88 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 This makes my engine build look like a turd.. Keep up the good work man. 1 Quote Link to comment

Rustina 510 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Wow man this is one of my top 5 Datsun 510's I've ever seen. Truly a work of art Quote Link to comment

Truly a work of art That is truly a great compliment. Thanks! Now I can't let you down... Dang, as if I didn't have enough pressure already! hahaha ;) It is good from afar but far from good..... so far. :blink: Seriously, after this engine build and some other things like Stitch welding the bay, shave and fill holes and paint; this thing will be allot closer to where I want it....

ptown green Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 are you keeping receipts? how much does it take to build that kind of motor? without having a shop do most of the assembly anyway Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted February 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 are you keeping receipts? how much does it take to build that kind of motor? without having a shop do most of the assembly anyway I try my best to keep track of the receipts.... I procured the parts for this motor for a fraction of what the actual cost would have been. So having them professionally installed is affordable. There is ALLOT of machining and balancing involved with a stroker motor. Have to notch the pistons for oil squirter clearance, the upper oil pan for main bolt clearance, journal oil slot machining, block decking, oil pump decking, water pump decking along with a few other things. All of the torquing needs to be precise or the motor will eat bearings. The head needs precise shimming and reassembly and the cams degreed. I am not buying tools or can't do some work myself and space is limited so a shop is my best bet. Plus there is accountability. Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted February 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I checked into the pistons a little more and it turns out that they have a nice bronze ceramic coating on the deck to help deflect heat for better ignition. And a black coating what JE calls a "Tuff" coating around the skirt for break in purposes. Looks super nice and are upgraded options.... :D Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted February 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Hey, anyone know a good freight shipper that is cheap? I need to ship my motor to Florida (from California). I have a place with a fork lift so a lift gate or fork lift is not necessary. Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted February 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Picked up some spankin' new Rockers.... :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
