A/C help. Dropping a KA into an 85 ST. Wanting A/C. How much of a pain in the ass is the A/C system install if the truck didn't have it installed as an option when it was new?? Right now she's stripped down to the bone. No interior at all & the motor isn't in yet either.

Verdict on the motor.Two spun rod bearings.

This truck seems to sit a bit high in the rear. Any idea why?

Late night... Time to crack her open and see what happened.

What do you guys think about a KA24 with a turbo on it? What year and out of what can I find the best fit for this truck? 240SX? How much trouble is the swap? Just keeping my options open. Pulled the motor today. Teardown starting this week.

Don't hate the head, just never liked the twin plug design. Bill and I go way back. We've already talked about options. I've rebuilt a few, just wanted to try something different this time.

Here's a pix. We'll keep you guys in the loop. [/url]">http://http://s1103.photobucket.com/user/volz4/media/Builds/12115839_751486611647418_4411853238046623294_n_zpshiwv9nxh.jpg.html'>

New to the forum but not new to Datsun's. Had a 510 since I was 12. Owned 3 510's, two 720's and a sentra here and there. Just picked up a 85 720 with a blown Z24 for my son. Not sure what happened, we'll know as soon as we crack it open. My question to the forum is what are my options out there for a torquey motor for this truck that doesn't use the z head and bolts up to the 5 sp already in there? KA maybe? z24 block with a L-series head? It's a two wheel drive LB King Cab 5 sp. What say you all?? My son will use this as a daily driver (40 miles a day) but we're looking for a good torquey option that will be reliable to haul and tow here and there. Thanks!! Considering all options. Let's hear it.

I have only found 1 so far. I'll dig a bit deeper this weekend and let you know.
