Ok so here's a few updates and pictures
Reference of what the engine setup looked like before this rebuild started...
As my dad would always say, "So leeg soos 'n hoer se hart","as empty as a prostitute's heart"...
Airbox removed, won't be needing that, and RWD waterpump fitted. I decided to use the 20V pump since it has on blade more than the 16V one, but you need to grind the fins down by about 1.5mm otherwise they catch on the rear housing. Not bolted down yet, still fiddling with the pre-circulation pipe.
I took of that crooked top pip, hacked of the flange, then cut of the end and another piece to make up the housing, Pitty I didn't get pictures before it was welded up. Also cut the bosses out of the rear housing to make holes for the Datsun dash guage and sender for the ECU. Just welded a piece of aluminium pipe for the pre-circulation circuit.
Inside of the housing just to give an idea, used flange and two pieces hacked to size to make the housing.
Housing being welded up...
Water outlet on the head. Must now find a curly rubber hose to connect the pre-circulation to the top of the waterpump. Still also need to make a fitting for the top of the pump.
Just another angle, nicely tucked away and looks OE from this angle. Sits in almost exactly the same spot as the 16V one did, will need a slightly longer pipe to connect to the radiator.
Rear housing removed and holes plugged up with rags. Want to flow those holes a bit to make sure the water circulates as easy as possible.
This week I'll try to get the rear cover plate made and also have the clutch modified to have the 21R center. Then the motor can go in and I can start checking for clearance and mock up the branch.
