Thread: WTB L67 Rods and Pistons

unless your looking to build a sick HP engine, buy a used engine. use its block. its way cheaper then all the shop work this engine needs to be rebuild properly.

a whole used engine will cost less then the machine shop bill. this is why we dont rebuild these engines to much, unless you got some plans, and then you dont use the stock internals.

I have a set of L36 rods/pistons out of the car.....let me know if you're interested.

As long as the tune is good and you don't have any issues with KR many turbo guys have run the L36 pistion/rods setups into the 500whp range.

Pics of your project? Datsun 510 isn't something you see very often anymore.

these aint a 350 small block engines. you just dont take the bottom ends apart and swap parts. thats a 200 mile motor.

find the heads and lim and blower for the top swap, and get it on there.

that set up in a car that small should be a blast.

Epic. I love the 510's.

Very cool....subscribed for sure!

I know that you've done your research and are more than capable of doing all the modificaitons yourself......But.....food for thought. The Eaton M90 (Heaton M90) is very inefficient and a lot of people going for higher HP numbers have preferred running the L36 bottom end to keep that higher compression ratio. With not having to spin the supercharger with an even smaller pulley you end up keeping the M90 in it's most effiecent range (which is crap all around) but like I said, just food for thought.

With proper tune, AFR, and 0KR the L36 bottom ends will easily hold 500whp.

i didt mean for you feel any disrespect. im just saying money wise, its not worth it. unless your loaded and dont mind tossing good money out the window for no reason other then to do it.

people who blow up their l67 or l32 will use a high compression n/a block in its place. the low compression blocks and or the whole engine are getting harder to find local for every one, not thats there not out there, just may not be in your back yard.

and the whole n/a engines cheaper, as low as $300 for a low mile engine. and are all over.

its pretty cool how everyone who does the rwd swap goes about the welding for the blower intake U turn just a bit different. thats the first one ive seen that looks like it un bolts from the blower. nice fab work.

Wish I was loaded lol... not worried about high HP numbers, she will already do mid 13's with the stock l36. ill be more than happy with stock boost that should put me well ito the 12's and ill call it a day, this is my DD and I lover her.

Guess im going to have to start a build thred before the mods see this lol...

whats that car weigh? nothing? lol it should fly. maybe be a good drift car too. with out making it one, if ya know what i mean lol

Someone needs to make a members ride thread ^_^ that's just badass
