Looking to buy a 510 l16 oil and pick up.

Located in SoCal. 90631 for shipping purposes.

Hey guys/gals!

I have bought a L16 setup from a 521. But I need the Oil Pan out of a 510. Anyone have one for sale?

Alright guys. Just purchased the following. L16 engine 521 L16 4 speed 521 Weber 32/36 This came with purchase; manifold, used electrical distributor, and radiator. All from a 521. Just need to find the correct oil fan and pick up(?) And of course.... all the wiring haha think they sell this online(...

In short - yes. But you will need an L16 510 oil pan and pick up, I believe there are minor differences.

Hey guys/gals!

Need a somewhat quick response haha
New to the Datsun restoring game and I'm just wondering if an L16 4 speed tranny out of a 521 would fit into my 68 510?

FWD cars tend to mount their engines very differently from RWD applications. FWD block probably won't accept a RWD distributor, either. If you're new to swapping 510s, you're inviting trouble attempting to go down a path that few of us have traveled. There are plenty of RWD drivetrains out there an...

Well it will be difficult to run with the distributor sticking into the heater core. Until this is sorted, the custom oil pan and engine mounts don't matter. Find a D21 Hardbody KA '86-97? KA24E RWD with it's 5 speed. Has a front mount CAS that you can remove (needs EFI to work anyway, and you don'...

Which would be a lot easier to install? Weber 32/36 or the R1s?

Any other suggestions?
