  1. Thanks mike. The problem is the guy only has the motor no trans. It is the carborated verson. So I can have a motor that runs with no trans, or a trans with no motor. Is the Z motor enough of an upgrade for me to pick it up, and then go on a search for a trans? Also this is going in a 78 620 that had a 6 inch body drop. Is the z motor much taller than a L motor? And the trans for the Z is it any shorter than the one for L motor? Sry for all the questions just haven't found much info on this from the search.
  2. Ok so I'm hoping that with all the knowledge on this forum I can get pointed in the right direction. I have a 1978 620 king cab with no drive trans. I also have a 1980 720 that had full drive trans, but motor most likley has bad bearing. It is the early 80 version of the 720 with a L20b in it. Questions are will the trans out of the 720 bolt up to a Z 2.2? Also do I need to use different motor mounts? Is the Z motor any good or would I just be better fixing the L20? Are there any things that I must have from the Z motor to make the swap, or are the L and Z motors parts swappable between the 2. Anyone's help would be greatly appreciated. Also what would a Z 2.2 come out of? The guy says it was in a truck with aprox 86000 miles on it.
  3. I need to know if the doors on a 1975-1976 Datsun 620 standard cab, are the same as on my 1978 620 king cab. Any info would be great. I tried to search but did not come up with anything. Also will most of the body parts interchange between the years and cab differences?
  4. Ok so here is the deal I have a 78 kc 620, it originally had a L20b with a 5 speed trans. But I picked it up minus motor and trans. I also have a 80 720 that has a L20b and 5 speed trans. Only problem is the motor is no good. My plan was to take the motor and trans and put them in the 620. Would this be a direct swap between the 2 trucks? Also I am having issues finding a running L20b for my build, but I have found a remanufactured L18 for very cheap in my area will all of the parts from the 80 720 work on the L18 so I can have a running truck? Also are there other motors that will bolt up to my 5 speed trans out of the 80 720? Because I found a 2.0z motor that suposibly in running condition. I have intensions of doing a cool motor swap down the road. But I would like available options as far as simple solutions to getting the truck on the road for now, without breaking the bank. The truck is bagged and body droped to the rockers, so I am also working on limited space. But at this point the whole firewall is out, and I will need to cut the trans tunnle for clearance. Anybody's input would be greatly appreciated I have used the search button but I do feel that my questions are slightly unique and I have had no luck finding the information that I am asking for.
  5. I will come out for sure. I just live in west Jordan. Some connections would be great to make with some local guys. Hope to have the 620 on the road by aug. didn't think there would be any one intrested in to a bagged and bodydrop 620, figured I would be a little bit of an outcast for cutting up a classic.
  6. Plesase feel free to call me or text me. I am a truck driver so it's hard for me to get on here sometimes. 801-824-5329 Curtis
  7. I need a good 1978 kc 620 door, Let me know what you have.
  8. Just as the title says I am looking for a running L20b for my 78 kc
  9. Yes I need the L20b as long as it runs, I have one that is not currently in working order. I am in Utah if the price is right I will come pick up the motor for my 78 kc
  10. Quit being a slacker mel. I put a pic of mine on here. lol I do think i will do a build log if there is any intrest? Still so up in th eair as to what motor to run? Wish I could find a running L20b on the cheapness somewhere within 400 milse of me?
  11. Ka swap. Is it a fairly easy swap? With it body droped everything is pretty tight fit. I have no firewall in it right now waiting to see what route I'm going to go. With that swap can I still use the 5 speed trans out of my 1980 720 parts truck? What is the best motor choice for the swap? Year? 2wd or 4wd? Also what parts do I need to be sure to get for the Ka swap? Thanks for your help
  12. Just like the title says looking for motor ideas. The truck Is a 78. Had a 5 speed and a L20b before I got it. But when I picked up the truck there was no motor or trans. I have a 1980 720 that has a 5 speed and a L20b but the motor is no good. I'm planning on running the 5 speed In my 620 but I'm having issues finding a decent L20b to run in the truck A couple of concerns is being that it is bagged and body droped is motor clearance with my stock hood. Any one have maybe a simple motor swap that will still have a low profile like the L20b? Or anybody have one they want to part with. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
  13. mcbuggin thanks for turning me onto this site. It has proven to be very heplful so far. But whre do i find the heavily modified 620? Ill post a couple pics of my bagged abd boddy droped 620, if anyone is intrested in that stuff. As I know to each is own on what is cool to do to our trucks and all. Thanks From a newb Curtis Allen
