Question on B-Series transmission compatibility

still want this thread deleted? 
my box is R type, not the small one. The spline was correct for the R box on the f2t/rx7t clutch. Just grinding a little is a gross under statement. You have to fit the smaller ring gear to the bigger fly and machine the pressure plate and flywheel and bell housing. Lotsa work/cost.
Just fit the small fly and clutch and hope for the best.
And yes larken, I've done it and with your engineering skills, I'm certain you could too
If you are using the small box you'll need a custom disk with the smaller spline type in it as well.
b2200 box != b2200 box
the 86 - 93 is the one you want, and it will probably be non R typed.

If you're swapping anything into a datsun, it better be an L series engine, 20, 24-28. Get rid of that crappy A15/16 engine
Pfft. L24-28 is a bit too long, it had an L16 to begin with.If you're swapping anything into a datsun, it better be an L series engine, 20, 24-28. Get rid of that crappy A15/16 engine
The truck is being built for this competition - SDREV Grand Challenge
Since we have a $1000 budget, and I have F2Ts literally laying around, it just makes sense.
I'll be updating the build on a regular basis here: Team Heavy Hitters - Project WTF Truck - SDREV - San Diego Regional Enthusiast Vehicles
Anybody have a cheapo F2 clutch for sale? It only needs to last six races
only $1k? too bad, a built L20 would be very very nice.

Spent so much time wirebrushing the frame last weekend, my shoulders still hurt.
by hand or machine? By hand would suck. I know how much rust those datsuns collect :lol:
I'm actually thinking of picking up another datsun myself...810 Wagon

I didn't have a die grinder with me, and using a wire wheel in a drill is just too slow. Thankfully I found a flapper wheel in my car, threw it on my angle grinder and saved a bunch of time that way.
This weekend we'll finish getting the radiator support off, then hopefully fitting up the engine/trans. The trans looks like it'll bolt up to the stock mount, oddly enough, so long as it's pushed forward about an inch. This is fine, since the engine can go forward a bit and save a bit of chopping of the firewall.
As long as the rad/fan fit, we're good to go, as I can always mount the intercooler on the bottom and make a scoop/diverter plate for it.
Then it's new intake manifold time, wiring, and driveshaft, all while we mount the fuel cell, re-run the lines, straighten the bodywork, add new brakes, fluids, and paint. Wish us luck, we've got roughly seven months left.
I'm actually pondering entering the MX6 I bought from Rami as well.
I would actually build up an 810 for your event. You already have a great power plant in the L24, you have Z suspension as well
Some low cost suspension upgrades, as well as swapping in a turbo motor/tranny and you'll be good to go. But good luck on getting that Datsun truck going.
