Miatsun 520 Pickup...cool swap
2 Attachment(s)
This just popped up on a local forum. A 1966 Datsun 520 pickup with a Miata engine and suspension swap! He didn't say much about it, but it looks really clean, and if it actually turns well would surprise a lot of people on track day lol.

The horrible weight distribution of a truck with a weakling powertrain of an n/a miata.
I'm glad he takes good pictures. |
Still...that thing looks amazingly clean.

ditto. Someone photoshop it.

Id rather see it with a half dozen busty polish chicks in the bed, but 6ULs would look good as well.

^^^ Thanks for that. And I did not realize it was a repost...a thousand pardons. No mention of that 2yo build thread was made in his local thread.

Its clean and well executed. No doubt.
I just think its more for pictures than anything else. Should have installed the motor in the back:D |
I read his build thread a while ago, and even NA with very little development, he was kicking ass at HPDEs, it's definitely more than just a show truck, he races the hell out of it.
|
well then I guess I'm wrong and will now shut up LOL :)
|
Do not like the olive color, but damn that thing looks GREAT!
|
Yah there were vids of him running it out at the track. I believe he is an experienced spec miata racer
|
Beautiful but the wheels got to go. One day I'll have a Datsun Roadster and Pickup. Powered by the KA24 and the CA18.
|
Just went through the 60 page build thread I Found linked somewhere. He basically built a long wheel based miata... only, its a truck...
Both front and rear sub frames, firewall, powertrain, FLOOR! |
