░▒▓ the datsun 510 with honda S2000 guts adventure! ▓▒░
Edit: Instead of looking at pics, I made a quick video of the process, hope you like it.
got my 510 last year after looking for a while
( i think my childhood with grampa kicked in and wanted to get me a L series motor )
the car ran great with the L16 w/ SU's hitting tops 80 mph at the 118 fwy ,
but i need mooore and finally i had the chance to get f20c swap for it.
had the chance to get a SR swap , KA or 302 shortblock...but the s2k swap is just what i wanted.
had to fix some stuff before getting the swap
( suspention , rear disc convertion, front 280 brakes , lighting , fix a 30's something short circuit , etc )
i been working for some time now... getting info ( thing that is almost imposible for this kind of proyect ) ,
what im trying to do is use honda info and apply it into the datsun (evil laughter : muahahahaha )
today i had the chance to take some pics ...
i been working on the weekends and hope to keep posting the process....
1970 510

the master cylinder will clear with inches to spare.
however, the intake will require a 90 degree elbow b/c it will be really close to the radiator---given that you'll run an oversize radiator like i did. to get around this issue, you could always run ITBs.

Re: (Wendys or Bust)
planing to use the stock s2k radiator in order to have the same location for water temp sensor
but in case doesnt fit right i should go with an aftermarket...
the only thing is wich one? probably a muscle rad.
I will like to go with ITB's but my funds went to EMS
...
hey btw macrosshn : what rad did u use? chevy ? ford?
the update for today...
wanted to use s2k gas tank ( using oem sender and pump , even with EFI fittings ) but doesn't fit right on the trunk..
decided to chop the fuel pump ring and weld it into the stock 510 gas tank.
and used JB to " seal " any posible air leaks.
also because the 510 gas tank fail to have " reserve gas unit " im using gas tank foam to avoid suddenly starvation
just got this week my 3/16 , 3/8 lines AN ,fittings , flare kit etc.
next week i should start with the fuel lines.
Stock 510 gas tank
simple template
chopped s2k tank
s2k ring into 510 gas tank
JB rocks! lol

im saying it wrong, its " fuel cell foam " that goes inside the fuel tank
to avoid splashing of the gas inside.
