  1. Oh. That answers that then. Thank you
  2. I was curious if changing the idler and pitman arm from being parallel to intersecting changes anything about steering dynamics/geometry/whatever you wanna call it. Sorry for my poor Microsoft paint skills haha. I don't know much about steering besides basic toe, camber and caster alignment stuff. The arrows represent the pivot point.
  3. Well guys, with a heavy heart. I am parting ways with the idea of building a badass L. Datsun Roadster here I come!!! http://community.ratsun.net/classifieds/item/8118-performance-4-cyl-l-parts/ Admin may close/delete this thread.
  4. Thank you guys for the input! It helps me get off the fence about pursuing a roadster. Someone already messaged me about the 219 head lol. I still have at least another 2 weeks before I am home and have to make the final decision.
  5. I was avoiding the classifieds because I am unsure yet. I am wanting to follow my ultimate dream of getting a SRL Roadster, I have some money saved already and selling my 1972 Chevy C10, my 521 and my extra L parts will help me get there.
  6. Yeah, you're right. However, I didn't want to be one of those "crack pipe" price guys that have been popping up more frequently as of late.
  7. I don't know how much to price stuff. Can I get some help? Here's my list and what I think its worth, judging from some interweb surfing (yes I know, point and laugh). Lemme know, because I am unsure! I can add pictures if wanted Rebuilt 219 Closed chamber head, has a regrind stock-ish L20b cam $500 Dual Weber Side draft Canon Intake w/ linkages with your choice of rebuilt Weber 40 dcoe or 45 dcoe $800 Rebuilt Pair of Weber dcoe with no intake $500 Offenhauser intake for 4 Barrel carb $250 Mallory Unilite optical trigger distributor $150 New Round port headers $100 185,000mi Stock running L20b from a grandpa 720 $500 5Spd transmission from the same truck $250 Brand new 521 grille with a repop SSS badge $250 1968/1969 ribbed valve cover $50 Oil pump $50 Thermostat housing and block outlet $50
  8. The 219 heads pop up every so often. I bought one after a month or two of lurking a couple of Datsun parts groups on facebook and the classifieds here. In fact I may be selling mine soon. I've been getting serious about selling my 521 and L parts and buying a roadster. Still on the fence. My point is, they're out there to be had still.
  9. That looks really awesome! I've always liked the first generation MR2s. Keep up the good work. Do you plan on doing a 20v swap?
  10. Could these work for a CA18?
  11. Well hopefully the L20 will give me some umph.
  12. Yeah, you may be right. The reason I'm doing all of this work is because I cannot find Z-E parts. It also helps that I work at a parts store where I can get a better rate on some parts.
  13. The way I see it, I could build a turbo L with FI for ~$3000 and have more power. Or I could build all motor for L for ~$2000. I'm trying to keep it milder for a 521. It won't ever have the power to the ground potential of a 510 or Z.
  14. Well let me see if I can make you guys understand what I am doing. I think I am almost getting everything working out the way I want it to. Jeep rods- 155.57mm in center to center 56.096mm big end diameter 27.051 big end width Jeep bearings are too small even at .060 undersized so I need an alternative I would also have to mill a ~.125mm on both sides of the big end width for the side tolerances I would need a piston with a 29mm compression height. RB26DETT pistons would do the job with 1mm milled off the top or I can run Mitsu 4g63 pistons at a compression height at 28.7. I haven't looked at all of my alternatives for pistons. I think some honda H22 ones worked too but I can't find the part listing now. I am at a deck clearance of .180mm below with the 4g63 pistons. That brings my rod ratio to 1.8. I could run a specific set of small block chevy rods at 6" and have a piston compression height of 32mm (for example vg30) and be .950mm below deck as well. My rod ratio is at 1.77. I forgot what bearing I would be running for that now. I never recorded that. oops. I think they were big block chevy. Do you guys see what I am trying to do? I figure as long as the tolerances are all met, the possibilities are innumerable. I'm just wanting to make sure I wasn't missing another small detail that will ruin my whole plan. Nothing I have looked at lists small end with, so I would have to actually measure a set of in stock parts before I order what I want.
  15. What kind of complications could I run into using mismatched rods and rod bearings? For example I am looking into small block chevy bearings and jeep rods.
