LS1 in a 72' Datsun 510 has it been done ?

[LS1-510]

the firewall has been moved back about 6" along with a new tranny tunnel to fit the 700R4 tranny. I have to build one more header and get a flexplate/ spacer then I can bolt it down for good. here is a pic of the modified firewall and tranny tunnel. I tried to get the engine as far back and low as posssible to improve the handling. custom wiring harness should be here this week. also pics of header and fuel pump.

Any updates on your 510?

Sorry I haven't been back to update in quite a while been out enjoying the car. I got it all together and had it insured for the begining of July. What a blast to drive vs the old 350. The engine is very civil at lower speeds but if you take it over 3K it really gives new meaning to hang on. I have driven this car every dry day possible attending show and shines and just crusing around Calgary. I have put about 5000K since insuring it. It will be getting new paint this winter. If anyone from Calgary has seen me say hi.

What fuel pump is that you're using and how are you feeding it?

I really like the Datsun 510.
That thing is sure to be sick when all is said and done.
Do you plan on mini-tubbing it or are you going to make do with the tiny tires (or maybe widebody?)?

[LS1-510]

the plan is for a BRE flare kit with new paint and tires this winter. the fuel pump is a walbro external pump with a corvette filter regulator
