Hey all, Name is Morgan, am 26. Love old jap trucks, had a datsun 521 pickup I was going to fix up but sold. Was at a farm last year and saw an old B1800, not sure what year, owner seems to think its either a 73 or 76. Bought it over the phone for $50, plan on putting a V8 in it. Anyone on here swap an old B1800 to a v8? I have a Caddy 500c.i. from a Fleetwood, weighs inbetween a small block and big block and is physically in between the two sizes, so should not be a hard task.
