1973 620 l16 pulled swapping l20 need help!
so i just got this 1973 620 pickup it had an l16 in it little 4 speed the motor was completely taken apart and im just gonna throw a l20b in it since it bolts right up as i have been told i just need some information on if the wiring harness mounts right up to the l20 and if i can use the 4 speed from the l16 i know you need a new flywheel and clutch kit but does anyone know what ones? i use to have a nissan 720 so im not really use to these 620's.

I took a 78 620 L20 w/ 5 speed and installed into a 74 620 that had the L16 w/ 4speed and it fit perfect. ( swapped the EI dist and IR alternator since 74 didn't have them ) Both trannys were the same length.
The engine wiring was not a problem, seems like it all hooked up with no issues as long as the distributor and alternator are not EI and IR.
Welcome to the form Austin, looking forward to the pic's.

Repair L16.
Set it aside.
Install L20b.
