so yeah, cant decide if i want to dump my money into my corolla or if i want to dump it into my pickup.

I just picked up a 73 datsun 620 for $200. for those that dont know, a 620 is the datsun pickup with a 510 front end (or close to it). the pickup needs a head gasket job and new radiator. the body and interior are super clean.

However, the corolla needs to have the suspension completely redone and could use a rebuilt high comp engine... what to do?

So, does anyone out there have a single or duel side draft setup for a datsun they want to sell.... actually i have a duel side draft manifold already, just need the carbs... maybe some nismo comp headers would be nice too.

or if anyone out there was a 4age high comp blue top they want to let go for cheap let me know as well. I can only afford to build one of them right now so i guess which ever i find the parts for first will be the project.

The pickup is way cheaper to get running. Make sure the cam saddles are straight as well as the head surface are straight and square.

try yahoo japan for carbs. there or club 4ag there are a few sets out there. i was eyeing a 620 when i was back in cali i wanted it pretty bad but i think they wanted $800 for it which was too much IMO> it was all original bone stock in ok shape but $800 i dunno. if i can find one i would buy one in a heartbeat. that was my first vehicle a 76 datsun 620 pickup. we used to call them "bullet side" datsuns. i had mine dropped pretty low for the time even got it stuck on a speed bump one day..LOL. long story. wish i still had it.
