you kinda have me at a loss there datsun1300ute. The car in your avatar you describe as a 521, which is virtually a 1600 ute.... (which i assumed to run the L16)




but you say it runs a j-series motor (similar to a series). which i thought was a 1300, more the older version of the 1200, running the older model a series motor, shown at the top of the forums in the links from Razor. (need to be logged in to view)

Dodgerman, i think i might need you to help me out here...

Did US have L16 in their 521s?
if they did you can source the mountings from there and get it sent down here.
anyway you can put any engine if you want to.

also try joinging this forum Old Datsun Pickup Lovers

they got some info and lots of pics and links for you.

post some pics of your 521, would like to see it

I think your probably out of luck for online parts shops. j-series motors are pretty rare i'd say. can you rebuild it? what parts do you need? datsun parts are fairly interchangeable, depending on what you need. try the forums at ozdat as well maybe if you haven't alreadly

does anybody know any websites that sell datsun parts online for my model ute

do u know where i can get them or where they sell them all should i go to a wreckers

any engine you like if you are willing to change engine and gearbox mounts. an a12 ar a14/15 would be a good start or if you want to go all out go the ca18
