Shit, with the antique EFI binned, there's not much to a datsun engine.
I'd perhaps hit up Dattodevil, or talk to Classicdat.
If you want you could talk to Darryl at economy auto repairs. He's a good dude, with many years experience turning spanners on cars. (He's a wiz with SU's too)

Re: D1RTY6 's 1978 C331 Gloria SGL-E
Well its been a busy last couple of months since my last post....unfortunately not for the Gloria
Ended up buying my first house! so all of my attention has been to fixing a few thing around there! therefore not much has changed on the Gloria, Its still registered and warranted and running though!
Therefore i plan on actually coming to my first NZD meet at Akaroa!
Obligatory photo
So plan now is to save all my spare pennies for some new rims, I was never a huge fan of the D windows so cant wait to get a new set of shoes on her
Looking at a set of RTS Welds
You may have seen them on Sheepers MS51 Crown on old school! http://www.flickr.com/photos/snoozinrichy/9289613101/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Thoughts?

Get some mk1s from Japan! although those are sweet wheels.
Re: D1RTY6 's 1978 C331 Gloria SGL-E
Those wheels are sweet, how wide do you think you can go front and rear?
