Good idea, thanks!

Don't have too many pics, here it is though [quote name=Cahoon520' date= '09 February 2012 - 08:38 PM' timestamp='1328848736' post='630915] You dont have a whole bunch of room under that hood.So get you tape measure out. And we need to see some pics of this truck.

I'm enrolled in an adult school body shop class working on my truck, all the cutting tools you can imagine, body work on a budget, highly recommended ha

Thanks for all responses; datzenmike: Any suggestions on web sites or locations near LA where I can check out or buy a L20B and/or 5 speed from a 620?

Looks like Ive got my work cut out for me...or I can just drive real slow ha

Thanks for the responses, was just looking for somewhere to start researching motor options, Im doing the body work myself right now, will undoubtedly take a good while. Oh and I posted 2 threads on accident on General Discussion from my phone, whoops.

Hello, I have a project going with a 68 520 pickup. I have the stock motor in it which is just too weak. I would like to replace it with something more powerful. Im looking to keep the gas mileage good and not looking to make it super fast or anything, I drive canyon roads quite a bit and just need a little extra juice. Is their any older Datsun motor that is compatible, so I would not have to make new engine mounts or get a new tranny? If not any recomendations on a kit? Any suggestions on replacement motors(or possible upgrades to the current motor for extra horsepower) are much appreciated I'm pretty much clueless at this point. Thanks! -Andrew
