My buddy just picked up a Bluebird in fantastic shape...it will remain stock on the exterior/interior but will have either SR20 or LSx power under the hood!

Nice car. I hope that he is going to swap on some bigger brakes! Those drums are not up to the task of that much power.

Kewl! What year is that?
I bet someone will want the original engine/trans. Double-check on the EarlyDatsunsClub Yahoo Group.

Funny, this car made an appearance at our Datsun Swapmeet on the 4th of Feb. I got to check it out.
Not much room under that hood for much more than the E motor thats there now. A swap would be major surgury. Even an R16/H20 will require a firewall cut and trans hump enlargement.

Monster HP numbers!!!
I sold the last set of spare A-arm assemblies before moving from Fremont, otherwise you could have those...
Leave it stock and just freshen it up, you already have the performance vehicles...

What about a Rotary? Not Nissan, but they are small.

I'm sure Rob will do a super job, but it sure seems too nice to chop up (no matter how little) for an engine swap. My two centavos....

If he put in a rotary he would have to swap for a supra motor or SR20

The rotary engine is cool, compact, and can make power. No doubt about it. I've seen 800hp 13b's in old-school Mazda RX-2s.
They can also be loud, tempermental to tune, and into a Datsun we still want to see simple, reliable, modern Nissan power under the hood.
