These cars weighed 2300 lbs new and a small block chevy fits like it was designed to be installed and it is so easy to work on, at 1/10 of a second for each 100lbs savings in the quarter mile, you will whip that modern muscle car that weighs 3500 lbs plus easily! car only picks up a few hundred pounds with the v8 conversion and maintains its near even front to rear weight ratio. This is a perfect example of a car that overwhelmed the last restorer, I bought it as a near perfect shell and installed a crate engine and rebuilt transmission. It is a Jags That Run 350/7004r conversion which means engine is set back much farther than other conversions using a new crate code r 96-99 truck 4 bolt vortec, roller cam, 9.4cr upgraded and ported vortec heads with big mutha thumpr roller cam, GMPP single plane, Quick fuel Holley 750 carb, comp roller rockers and compatable springs, HEI, 7qt oil pan, gm gear reduction starter, custom heavy duty driveshaft,15 gal fuel cell under floor, headers and 2.25 dual exh with full size hooker turbo mufflers, maybe 7,500 miles on setup and trouble free. Beast 700r4 rebuilt and hp 2500 stall converter using a late model Firebird shifter that fits console nicely. upgraded R200 rear end and shafts from a 78 280z. '95 Toyota 4 runner front calipers.280 springs all around. original 4 speed car if you want to change and still has pedal. Mostly rust free car, I replaced the lower front of both quarters in front of rear tires [all rust there regardless of how nice] and took all other sheet metal to bare metal, sprayed awl grip epoxy primer and forest green paint, installed new windshield and back glass gaskets, windshield in good condition, floor pans great and sound deadener installed, heavy steel welded in roll bar with seat back support and extra room, optima red battery in rear. dash cap, seats ok with no tears, needs carpet and door weatherstrips. This car was my daily driver for 2 years, very comfortable car, very fast and agile, always runs cool even in Houston, has cold a/c and is very reliable. All gauges work except amp and clock, no horn, origional a/c and heat setup boxed up for storage. New t/a radials on back. I have many spare parts including wheels and suspension parts that go with car also. Blue clear Texas title and historic license plates so nothing on windshield, all lights and signals work. Car really runs Great! Drive it home! R200 pic is not of this particular car but a representation of the strength of rear end. It's only a matter of time till these cars skyrocket in value, own one now! I have never raced this car on a track and do not know how fast it is but have owned many muscle cars including a 67 and 77 Vette, 69 Z28 and 69 SS Camaro, 70 GS455Stage1 and a 69 Judge RAIII, this car is definitely the fastest and handles the best.

Datsun officially reborn with Go model for India [w/video]
Mon, 15 Jul 2013In March of 2012, Nissan announced the return of its historic Datsun brand. Datsun used to represent the Nissan brand in a number of markets, but its badge hasn't been worn on a new model since 1981. In 2013, though, it has been relaunched as the Japanese manufacturer's budget offering in the emerging markets of India and Russia.
The model that will lead that charge, at least in India, is the Go, a car that pays tribute to the very first Datsun, the DAT-GO.
The operative term with the Datsun brand is: "budget offering." Don't step inside the Go and expect beautiful hides or brushed metals (it's being sold in India, after all). The instrument cluster features a simple speedometer, while the five-speed manual and the center stack above it are rather barren. It's not without luxuries, though, as iPod-style connectivity is available through a Mobile Docking Station.
Datsun expands low-cost revival with new Mi-Do in Moscow [w/video]
Fri, 29 Aug 2014Those who were disappointed when Datsun changed its name to Nissan over three decades ago may have been pleased to see the marque revived last year, even as a budget brand. Nissan's counterpart to its ally Renault's Dacia budget brand, Datsun has been steadily expanding its lineup of low-cost transportation for developing markets with the debut of the Go hatchback in India, the Go+ minivan in Indonesia and the On-Do sedan in Russia. And now it has returned to Moscow to reveal its fourth model, the Mi-Do.
Based closely on the On-Do sedan (which itself is based on the Lada Granta) the Mi-Do takes on a five-door hatchback bodystyle but with no more frills. It uses the same front-drive chassis with the same wheelbase as the sedan, but its chopped tail makes it a good foot and a half shorter overall. Into that compact shape, Datsun has fitted dual airbags, ABS and... well, that's about it. It's got a 1.6-liter, eight-valve inline-four kicking out a grand total of 87 horsepower to either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic. Bare bones, this is.
While delivery of the first On-Do sedans commences next month (with the first example going to an IT specialist in Omsk), the Mi-Do is set to begin delivery early next year. Scope out the video and press release below from the Mi-Do's reveal at the Moscow Motor Show.
First new Datsun in decade sketched, set for Indian reveal
Mon, 01 Jul 2013Nissan's Datsun nameplate revival will begin with two models bound for the Indian market. Nissan has released sketches of a five-door hatchback based on the Micra (codenamed K2) and a top-down view of a hood that could potentially be from a sedan.
The company's press release says all will be revealed on July 15 in New Delhi, India. The Datsun lineup will be first offered in 2014 to that country's ride-deprived residents as well as Indonesia and Russia. Later in 2014, South Africa will join the list.
We've heard Nissan plans for Datsuns to share platforms with company-owned Lada. In January, we heard the projected price tag could be around $3,000 USD to compete with Chinese imports. The official press release (which can be read in full below) says nothing about either of these reports, however.
