I think you have some other things that need to be dropped off too.


Looks like that block cleaned up nice.
Take your rotating assy too.

You will want them to have the pistons to properly bore them holes.

Yesem. I do.

I'll be sure to drop them things off one at a time to you..

Its going to be a little while tell he can get to my block. He'll hot tank it for a bit then get on to the bore but yes I'll be giving them KA pistons to him.


The block did clean up real nice, the bearings weren't bad at all, minimal wear.




What color for the block guys!!!?

Datsun green/blue. Always.
You can get spray cans of it on eBay.

Pontiac Catalina blue is really close.


Or black.

When I got those wheels and tires for my 521, I thought they would fit really well.
Those are damn near perfect. Better than I could have wanted.


Come see me before you head over to my house.

Hands down, my favorite wheel choice for a 521.
When the only tool you have is a hammer every problem starts to look like a hippy.

I would agree, now just need some 720 4x4 spring to get the rear down.
But thats down the road.

Z22 block should be ready sometime next week so.... Fucken LZ build soon.

I must say... Old head bolts and cheap head gaskets are a pain...


ordered up some real shit! ARP head stud. for the Lz2.3 and this here l20b I have now.. Being thats it needs to go back in the father'nlaws 620. I guess he kinda took it back from me... Lz for me! :)
so i really hope everything is going great at the machine shop, I'll find out tomorrow. I also have a lead on a great deal for a great quality head gasket for me to use on the Lz build. I told Ron, girl friends dad, that he should probably get one too.

So as of today.... the truck is down....

Right after I put new wheels on.
