Do many people put rotary's in datsun 240z's or 510's? i found this site:

http://www.bryanf.com/510/index.htm

so do people put a 13b for example in a 240z?

 

Wow, very interesting draw through setup

 

i have one in my datsun 520

 

putting a rotary in a 510 is not an original thing. there are a few out there, but many are not well documented. there are even a few threads on the board about them. since they are a hybrid of sorts, they usually will bounce between the 510 and rotary online communities like i do.

as you can tell from my sn, i dropped a rotary into my 510.
bryanf's rotary 510 is probably the standard by which most will measure up to for a while. while ultra impressive, i dont have the fabrication skill nor patience to wait that long to drive my car.

 

I've seen several early 240's race with 13b-rew's

 

i almost had a 13b TII 510 wagon but sold my project and bought a 2 door. the post is on here.

he used a 13B-RE

 

back in the 1980's we did (me and my dad) a full tube 510 with a PP 13B cut and set back 8 inches into the fire wall.............
that car ran so good they banned us.............then we went rx7...LOL
but that car was wild.all fiber glass weighed just about 1300-1500 lbs
with a pickup rear end and diff ..i think it was about a 4:7 rear.......
set was a breeze...just use front cover from a older engine and make a bracket


then gear box bracket and drive like crazy...OK ok ok not sooo simple but close enough

 

I get to start working on getting a 4 port 13B with a 5" Camden SC in a 510 tomorrow. I'll work on it over the next few weeks.

 

OMG... can't believe the level of Uber-detail. I'm jealous as hell of the skill and thought put into the final product. Very VERY impressive. Definitely the new bar!

 

Ok so I got the motor and trany in the 510 and mocked up the motor mounts, this weekend I'll see how much I can push the motor back. Maybe I'll take a few photos **** and gigles

 

OK here's a few photo's for **** and gigles, not gonna be as pretty as bryan's 510 but I'll make do with what tools I have available after all I'm no expert. Next weekend I'll make the trany mount and weld the motor mounts in place.

 

Saw this 510 this morning, very creative. So get that **** done already. I need you to finish the manifold for my TII Bridgeport blow thru RX-3.

 

Bring the car in two weeks, I just need to finish the mounts so I can take the car off the stand.... I'll make room for you

 

nice...and good job on stuffing the motor back as far back as possible...

 

The old 13B is almost ready to pull from the 510. The SC engine just needs a clutch disc and it will be ready to go in.
