This has been a GREAT read! I'm 56, so sounds like I came in a l'il after some of you! I remember when I first installed a Jensen AM FM cassette deck in my MG Midget, with 6x9 triaxle speakers in back & 4in round speakers in the lower kick panels! I was never so proud of my cousin Ric Jacobs of Stee...

For those that don't know.......a MANUAL swap/upgrade is pretty straight forward!

I have! PM me!

Norm, be careful with this. Some of the old key switches lose power between start and run; if the power drops out when you move from run to start then back to run, the ECU thinks it has been turned on three times and it dumps three quants of priming fuel via the injectors and causes all sorts of he...

Nice!

A87 was used on all L18 engines and I think on the '74 610, the earliest vehicle with an L20B. Both would need open chamber heads. Even back then it's unlikely that Nissan would send engines out randomly with closed chamber heads and 8.9 (L20B) and 9.0 (L18) compressions, when the mid '70 were well...

Do you have a dealer installed AC underdash unit? We have done two 240Z's using the original dealer installed underdash unit, but everything else under the hood was NEW universal fit components, just like the original kits were anyway. Both builds, we used a NEW Sanden compressor.............MUCH sm...

Are either of the A87 closed chamber heads? I am potentially interested in one/both of those, but don't need the whole lot. The A87 casting needs to be visually identified.........was made open chamber & peanut chamber, big valve & small valve, big port & small port! Maybe a better description on t...

I agree icehouse..............it is a builder issue. So many try to do a clean swap, but they simply don't know how OR they are lazy & take shortcuts. I try NOT to put any known builder of a car down on social media. If you saw one of the 510's that came in to our shop, realized how bad it was exec...

That's been my hang up...can't find NEW repop Omni fenders! The Rabbit ones ARE available repop. Just heard from our customer this morning....he says he found a set of ZG flares made for the 510, so that must be the direction he is going.............

TJ

I see now you used Omni FRONT fenders.............did you also flare the front of the 510? Same flare?

Nice, this should have its own thread! Are you using front or rear Omni & where did you get them? You mentioned a touch WIDER.......by approximately how much? Our guy still hasn't committed, but I'm a 510 guy myself, so still very interested in doing this some day!
