Thanks Brad!!! BTW guys, I got these from Mr. Thomas here... Brad, this silver one runs GREAT considering the tired motor. I took my brother-in-law for a ride down to Springdale this afternoon. He's seriously concerned that I may kill myself in this car. LOL! (He does drive a honda though...HAHA!)

Hi Guys, I'm an old Datsun guy, but I recently aquired two 02's from a fellow member of this board. I am very pleased with them so far even though one of them was quite a pain to get back on the road! LOL! It's a '69 that has been converted to a 2 liter motor with a few modifications including the 292 cam and dual 45 webbers and Stahl headers. It is old and tired but still runs strong considering. Although, I don't have to worry about anyone getting my plate #'s as there is quite a smoke screen behind me! It has Bilstein Sports at all four corners, Suspension Technique springs and anti-swaybars, front strut tower bar and an LSD out back. It had a 5speed in it that was stuck in 2nd gear when I got it. I had a pretty tough time getting it out as whoever put it in had to grind a bit off the bell housing just to sqeeze it over the steering linkage! after many choice words and a very large pry bar it popped right out... The new one that was going in however, was quite a bit different than what I pulled out and was much longer. So I had to do a little cut and pasting to get it fully installed. I made a new rear tranny mount crossmember and relocated the shifter angle supprt. I also had to build a custom flange to bolt to the output shaft as the only driveshaft I had that would fit was a four bolt pattern while the flange on the tranny was a 3 bolt pattern... I had a four bolt flange from a 4speed, but the hole in it was too big as the output shafts are appearantly different diameters! Soooo, I had no other option, but to cut up the one that was originally on it and turn it into a four bolt pattern flange. It isn't pretty as I was working with only a cutting torch and a very cheap bench grinder, but it balanced out well and is very functional... Anyway, here are a few pics of the one. I'll get some pics of the other one up soon. It's a '75 auto with some minor mods too...
