Will I be able to save this Datsun in order to 2 stroke V8 swap it?

[@dawnheaton7739]

I am so lucky to have you as a son Jim. Keep up the good work and stay hydrated. I love you

[@MrGixxer1300r]

With the floor all cut out this would be a good time to measure the transmission tunnle to make sure it will fit your 4L60E. Something tells me you will need to enlarge the trans tunnel.

[@dougj.8288]

From the look of it he’s gonna be building a new floor anyway, might as well build a new tunnel.

[@jeremiahcox9597]

I'm really curious to see a boat motor fitted to a car. Keep going man. I'm loving it.

[@njmvermont]

I mentioned it on the engine video but Since the intake intakes upward, you may experience some fuel/oil pooling in the intake runners when it sits shut off. It might be a good idea to add some type of threaded plugs in the runners now so u can drain it if it floods without taking off the whole intake or having to jam some hose down there and suck it out. You'll thank yourself later

[@craiglaing2417]

Bit of Datsun info for you. The automatic version of the Datsun 510’s have a slightly bigger transmission tunnel. They are sought after for doing engine swaps.

[@zyanbarrere7154]

Love that you’re posting more often, keep it up man! And a tip I learned was use non clumping litter and it won’t stick to the concrete as much

[@MrGixxer1300r]

Yep I used to get the cheapest biggest bag of non clumping kitty litter Walmart had, and it always worked great.

[@young11984]

I bought a pallet of oil dry 7-8yrs ago, just stacked the last 6 bags in the corner last week and took the pallet out. Oil dry or pig mats should be one of the first tools in a shop along with a drain pan lol, i picked up a universal tailshaft plug kit off ebay a while back also that i still use even though i drain engine/trans of fluids before removing them

[@jerryb1234]

A lot of other KZbinrs have been saying the same thing about their camera's, it's hard to believe someone hasn't came up with a camera holder that has a cooling fan on/in it, I can't believe you're actually going to fix that thing, lol, but if anyone can, 😉👍, you must be part plow-horse to move a car around like that, good-thing you have that "chicken-hay" around to eat, lol, awesome video, and thanks for sharing.

[@twoeightythreez]

To be fair, its not a very heavy car, they weighed around 2000lb at curb when not given natures "lightweight" treatment lol

[@freddog5218]

always keep a bag of kitty liter in the garage.

[@smoovefishing]

It’s twice as high as oil dry

[@motoman22atgmail]

The cheapest, dustiest grey kitty litter . Odor suppression type enhancements make it LESS effective. “Oil dry” is that if you can find it but most supermarkets have cheap store-brand litter that works great.

[@russellhammond4373]

You are a brave man. That rusty shell would have put me off but you are made of sterner stuff and in very oppressive heat. I'm looking forward to the 'finished article'.

[@MrDerwood1969]

Can"t wait to see how this car goes together

[@Diesr]

I love this please do not stop halfway trough 2 stroke v8s are rare and cool as hell please document it well and maybe road-trip or race it 😅

[@jefferyholcombe5189]

Buddy you need a set of oxy acy torch's to cut metal and heat bolts so they come out like butter and come out. I myself could not do the work I do in my garage without torch's! The best investment I ever made as I use it for everything fabrication wise! Another thing that I think is very important is compressed air to blow blind holes out or dirt off an intake or out of the car with a long blower handle, compressed air gets the job done. Then for the fab part a MIG welder can do everything ya need welding wise and what ya can't do with that you can do with the torch's and a metal coat hanger, at least welding sheet metal together for cheap. Impact's are your friend also, help's ya be faster, Defiantly get 1/2" cordless impact, Craftsman 20V has a new brushless one that is awesome! Like the project, keep the content to the main point's and don't clutter it up with to much of one process, record the main points for taking the motor out but spare us the whole procedure and point out changes, problems, and solutions!

[@VigilanceTech]

I can't wait to see you get the boat motor in there. I've heard that with just a puff of supercharging 2 strokes really come alive. It would be interesting to see if you could figure that out too.

[@richardmanchester114]

Why don't you use the cutting wheel on your angle grinder to cut the sheet metal instead of the router tool? Just wondering, but awesome videos and can't wait to see this build threw till the end.

[@crazy8offroad]

you should run square tubing all the way down each subframe and stitch weld them in after you clean and convert the rust so you never have to do it again and you can always add a cage if you add more power

[@slowlearner984]

Datsuns are notorious for rust. Always have been. I'm surprised how good that one is actually, all things considered. Wouldn't matter what you did, every Datsun has rust.

[@FordsRule351]

Keep up the good work man! Love to see the new content!

[@LuckyDucky79]

Keep the videos coming and i will keep on watching.

[@RiffRaff160]

Only good thing about acar with that amount of rot is you can make it into what you want. Gre in the UK , most of the older Japanese cars have gone. Looking forward to seeing more on the datty and keep up the good work 👍

[@MrBanaanipommi]

dude, in that hot environment remember to eat something salty and drink a lot water! good content btw!

[@thomasdavis3998]

love the dog just catching some shade under there

[@scottsinfl]

Doing a great job and I know what you mean about our Fl. heat. Ive got a huge oven I work out of. lol

[@markjeep9415]

Lol that reminds me of my first car. A 1980 datsun cherry, I had to weld a whole new floor into it. Uk weather and salt on the roads.

[@mattconnor6779]

Keep up the work. This is a really cool and unique project. Don't give up!

[@davidgourdie3691]

Those Datsuns in sedan form uesd to be very good rallying stock in their day (1600 SSS).If you're chasing bits look up the classic/Hiistoric racing registers.

[@shangoddard1289]

I like your content dude! Got my attention with the 1st of the V8 outboard videos and iv subscribed on this 1. Your personality reminds me so much of myself 😂

[@watahyahknow]

might be nice to get a beadroller they help you making the strengthening ribs in the sheetmetal for the floors and stuff if you have a pond clode by you could install a sprinkler system on top of the roof being fed by a submersible pump in the pond , the water evaporating from the roof helps a little to cool the roof down and hopefully make the temperature inside the shop a little more bearable , pumping the pond water through a large truck radiator with a huge fan behind it can help lower the air inside he shop

[@denhamdaves]

I have been waiting for this v8 2 stroke send it

[@dougj.8288]

Liking the regular uploads an longer videos.

[@rnwagner]

Check out a video series called Mercurial Motorbike build I think. a dude in New Zealand builds a Mercury Outboard into a Suzuki Bike frame with a Harley transmission. Interesting build!

[@Goomer]

Good progress

[@mr.kimber44]

Have you ever thought about investing in a shop fan? Better yet...an A/C system for that building.

[@hartwickperformance]

Yes I have. I actually dream of it lol jk but I really do need it and its on a list of future upgrades! I finally just got concrete from the shop to the side street. Now I can finally back my trailer up to it out front instead of through my yard. It's one thing at a time.

[@Brutalford]

I'd put a 350 or 370z 6cyl in it...rear end that would be a bad little wagon....hope it works out for u and your plans

[@twoeightythreez]

That column shift automatic, didnt know Datsun had them in the 510 after 1969. Please dont break the column shift stuff, its pretty rare. I dont think the thin sheetmetal was because they wanted it to be disposable, otherwise the powertrains wouldn't have been built so well. The fact that so many are still around is testament to the good build quality. Nope IMHO it was simply to reduce weight and waste. Rust protection wasnt a priority because Japan didnt salt thier roads back then. In areas (such as Oregon) where road salt wasnt used, many of these Datsuns were still daily drivers up to about 5-10 years ago. Imagibe if they didn't rust, the Datsuns would last nearly forever.... Honestly if u had a cylinder head you could probably get that stupid L16 to run 😂😂😂 thats how tough old Nissans are

[@carynelson8536]

Hay m8. Awesome project bruv. Cant wait to c how ya get on with it. Im building 1990 Toyota hilux 2wd with luxus v8 5speed lsd. Simple compared to wat your doing, aye.. Still i love your wk bro. Cary. Mount maunganui. Tauranga. New Zealand 😅

[@hunnybunnysheavymetalmusic6542]

18:00 We wanted a better look! 🤣

[@ardennielsen3761]

that old engine sure does look similar to a 318 dodge my dad parked out back behind the goat shed about 24 years ago with the 70-80's mercury cougars, but those got picked up years ago tho the truck is now a pull behind box for the tractor 😅 "said was parked because of frame rust, there wasn't any".

Good stuff

[@lancethony8249]

found channel love vids man cant wait to see outcome just curios would the engine fit intake side up pistons down would make easier in some aspects germans had v12s fitted cylinders down in theyre planes to get better visibility over the front end i think the main issue was needing a dry sump as heads would fill with oil

[@cringram1003]

He's using a 2 stroke v-8

[@lancethony8249]

@@cringram1003 educate me do big 2strokes work like chainsaws meaning there is no separate oil sump

[@Wardcompound43]

Hey man I live right outside of Panama need to get up together one day man

[@thundermite1241]

At this point a chassis swap with a miata might work most of your rust issues

[@MrBanaanipommi]

thats easy job to weld new floor there.... however denting the sheet metal helps a lot but most people dont have those stuff to make the dents like in factory parts

[@jeffstewart1651]

Dont trip if the tranny leaks a little fluid it common if the rear pinuon shaft seal is old or got some miles on it

[@mrknobbyfathead2885]

I thought you was putting a motor in from a boat taking those pretty cool but you just wasted my whole morning

[@ZIPCORD]

Roll down the side windows and put cardboard on the non-moving windows (especially the inside of the windshield). Those sparks imbed themselves in the glass. Ask me how I know. 😕

[@hunnybunnysheavymetalmusic6542]

12:30 Looks to me like it would be easier to move the crane around all of the vehicles, than to move the vehicles around the crane.

[@Novia0074]

why is your jack branded Gaytona???

[@DanDoge-wp7uj]

Ye the old joke was They rusting on the boat comming over..🤣 And it was true. In the customizing days to Beef up the chassie we would weld angle iron to the chassie rails. All the way. Then bolt through the floor on to welded square plates. Or you going to twist that car up like a pretzel .

[@DanDoge-wp7uj]

You need ladder bars welding to axle on solid plates. And your spring hangers completely beefing up..or you going to tramp that axle off the body..it's all in the preparations. Maybe even put a x brace some where in there. Inside car..up and over tunnel.. it's a great build. Good luck. Safety first..

[@STAY-GOLD-VINYL]

I would just swap the body onto a whole new chassis. Those rails are awful thin and huge taper

[@michaellewis767]

It really wanted me Rusty if you bought it from Nevada or Utah but The Florida is known to have rusty cars because of The oceanaire has salt in it
