I cant find the YD22DD motor in the US from all my google searches.

UK, AUS, Japan are only markets it shows available.

QR motor.

I really haven't done enough exploration as to what is available. Had no idea about the Frontier

The front suspension items are beautiful.

I modeled up some similar uprights for my 1200 coupe. But I have it modeled to use a 370Z front hubs.

I like the Toyota transmission.

Might as well go with a Beams or 1JZ with it instead of adapting a Q motor.

Thank you for the information DD.

Zig I am blue collar American, so crass salty language is all I speak. Being PC is offensive to me.

I plan on using a Q motor in this car. So I am a little worried about it destroying the auto trans currently mounted.


No getting rid of my wife. I am just happy she loves old cars and really loves Datsun cars.

So in December I picked up another coupe. Sadly it has an auto transmission. My plans were to swap it out for a 5 speed but quickly went away as the wife wants to keep the auto.

So now that it stays in or any replacement has to be auto. What can I do to help the car be a bit sportier with the tradgedy staying in the car?

Holy hell thats an awesome mechanical setup D.

I’m going to see if I can duplicate a similar setup

Ol George could articulate anything in the way we can all relate to..

Eff the Do-Gooder and their arrogance of thinking they know whats best for everyone, and EFF big government!

I will be moving into rocker arm design while I'm off for the holyday I think I have a reasonable head design I can machine with minimal issue. I will machine a proto head to be sent off for valve seats and guide installation in the end of January. If that don't happen then I have gotten caught up with putting my Ford back together.
