Ok so I'm new here, to the site not to Datsuns, and im wondering if anyone has ever welded up and redrilled (or seen it done) a set of 521 hubs before. I have a 1971 PL521 that was a parts truck for my first truck at 16 years old. I haven't looked at a set of these hubs in almost 10 years and can't remember what they look like or if this is even possible. Any pics anyone has would be a big help. My plan is to possibly do a 5 lug conversion and if so a disc brake swap. I have seen disc conversions and i have heard of 5-lug conversion on 620's but not the earlier models. This is going to be a long drawn out project as I don't get much time to work on things, but my eventual plans are to do an engine swap with a L28 non-turbo and 5-speed that I have in a rotted-out 280zx. Now I know I'm fixin to get a bunch of crap for even mentioning that since there are so many easier engine swaps out there but I look at it as I already have the running engine and tranny, and I've never seen another one done. Plus I have thought about this long and hard and realize that the L6's are about a foot longer than the L4's but that to me means that I will have a better weight ratio and more transfer to that light rearend, plus the floorboards and firewall need some help anyway and i can adjust things nearly as easy as I can replace them. I am also thinking possibly an S10 or toyota rear-end swap with a L/S to ease the 5-lug conversion. Sorry to be so long winded, just trying to prepare for the lashing I'm about to receive for that L28 in a 521 statement I made.
