WTB: Engine and Gearbox, plus others

Post by nzbidzel »

Right, Im starting the hunt for the setup I need to get the datsun 620 back on the road swapping out the J15

Engine: Either a L18 or L20b (Good working condition engines only not interested in a rebuild at this stage)
Gearbox: 5 speed to suit L18/L20b (Good working condition gearboxes only not interested in a rebuild at this stage) if you know specifics of the variation gearbox you have would help too
Other: If you know of anything Ill need for this ill be interested

Post or PM if you have anything Ill need, with a asking price. Im gathering funds for this asap.
Eyeing up Mint16's L18 if still available when I next head their way at this point.
vr6 idea still siting there, much research in the plumbing before I commit.

I have an L16. But that's not a very big step up from what you have now.

Yeah 4spd floorchange. Changes gears well, no noises, has some short of vibration on deceleration - spigot bush or gearbox mount??
