Ok so here is the scoop. I got this datsun 610 for really cheap. All I had to do was fix my brother in laws 66 Volvo 122 and he gave it to me. It has 59K miles on it and it is fairly clean. Heres what the readers here can decide for the datsuns fate. It is going to get an LS based motor and a turbo. So do we build it on the really cheap? IE: junkyard LS1 (we have one) with 2 ebay turbos and truck manifolds (we have all of thoose as well). Or do we build it right? IE: tube chassis, 9" rear, 6.0L T76 ballbearing with forged internals (we have all of thoose parts as well) Either way we have 90% of all the stuff we need to put it together and I thought I would make this build interactive for the LS1tech readers. This poll goes for 14 days, then I will re poll the readers so they can choose engine options, turbos etc. So go vote so I can get to work !!!
Seems I can't add another poll so here is the engine, tranny and turbo list. All of these we have already so the readers can pick the drive train as well. Post on here with your drivetrain ideas and we will add up the votes in the end.
