For months now I have been wondering what to do about my T18 Toyota, sell, keep ect. A while back I was offered a Datsun 620 tray back for $500, good body, tired mechanicials. What do you think about a Toyota T18 transplant. 1800cc ohc 2ltc plant, T50 steel case 5spd. Should be ok I would think.

Datsun 620 here came with L18 then L20B. So it wants a bigger engine...

Thought that the 620 came with an L18 anyways in the petrol and a painful 2.0l diesel.

If you want to stick with a 4 pot shove in an l20. If thats not enogh, go a v6 or v8. Cant go wrong with those options.

the 620's only came with a j15 here and thats it...but the L series is a straight bolt in...well almost

may bad datski. thinking of the 720.
Yeh J15. I remember the wreck we had at work now. Looks the same as an L series.

Stuff in the L20...

yeah the 720's had both the l20 and the z24....both diesel and petrol....both where gutless, the 720's are much heavier. if you want a good gearbox i would go the 180sss dogleg 5 speed, very strong box

720s had the Z24. J15 looks nothing like L-seres, but looks a lot like an A12.

There are a fair number of 620 parts that fit the Datsun 1200, and even more than can be modded into a 1200 (like the H190 rear). Maybe use it as a parts vehicle???

in australia the 720's had both the L20 and the z24...shame you cant really use the j15, best thing they are used for is for forklifts and thats it really

J15 looks nothing like an L series?

Perhaps the 620 im thinking of had an l series in it. I distinctly remember looking at the the engine, and seeing it slanted over to one side (l series style), hence my confusion.

Then again, it was dark, and it was night shift. I could have been looking at a bogger and not known the difference!

Hey guys there seams to be some confusion. The 2ltc and T50 is the 1800cc/steel 5spd out of my toyota te71 t18 hatch. These little units were known for shutting down 1600 and 2l celicas.
