hobospyder Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 Datsun4life has a de swap in progress or completed. Güber is replacing motor, tranny and I think driveline and keeping stock axle. U would recommend a front disc conversion at minimum as well so you can stop as well as go. 1 Quote Link to comment
