  1. After pulling apart the l20b I acquired last year and realizing that it was beyond what I wanted to try and fix, my truck project stalled. I've been debating on what to do and even thought of selling the truck. I've been searching for engines for a while and thankfully this week came across a guy near here with an l20b and transmission out of a late 70's Nissan, and said he had a W53 head for it as well. My interest was piqued, and I was not disappointed when I arrived. This is what I ended up with: In addition to the obviously gorgeous rebuilt W53 I also got new Redline Weber Carb, custom header and some other goodies. Christmas in July...
  2. So I should just go for the sr20det swap right away??? :thumbup:
  3. The oil pump doesn't seem to be in bad shape. I have found a source for a new crankshaft if all else fails, but sounds like it would be a good idea to get that, the conrods and pistons at the same time. I'm still searching for a local shop, but that will have to wait for a week while I am in SFO for Intel Developer Forum... thanks for all the advice guys.
  4. Sorry, yes, thank you....
  5. So I've been tearing apart the l20b that will be going in my truck, noticed that the #3 pushrod had some play, and by some, I mean, a lot... Seems like I'm definitely not the first one here to have run into this issue, does this kind of damage require having the crank repaired? Thanks
  6. This was off Roosevelt & 99 in Eugene, and yes, I scored, I am super thrilled with the purchase, I really can't wait to drive it!
  7. So tada, here is me, everyone on this forum always barks about no photos, so here is my truck, (1 of 2). I just bought a second truck today on top of this one that is identical to this one, and my truck will be receiving an l20b that I am currently rebuilding. I can't wait till my grocery getter can go... Thanks in advance for all of the amazing information I've already pulled, I'll throw some more pics soon..
