[QUOTE="coldair, post: 620230, member: 2151"] Leros, I have viewed close to 20 Datsun 510's, your's included when I went to Penang a few months back, about 8 of them are SSS versions, most of the SSS dash were cracked. I am not sure if a new dash would be available, but you can "balut" it. I have heard that someone managed to get a hold of a set of new tail lamps, check old and established auto parts supply stores, some may still carry old stocks. Apart from changing your dash to the SSS dash, do you not intent to switch your column gear shifter to a floor board mounted gear shifter?. Lots of things to convert to make it look like an SSS, a lot of hassle looking for SSS parts, this is the reason why I always wanted an original SSS to start with. CA18 would be a good choice for your 510, they are cheap as compared to newer engines like the SR20. Look at some of stuffs that others have done to their 510's, search the net and you will find answers. Yes, they sell engine mounts for various engine types to go with the 510 but most engines transplants require that the fire-wall be cut to make room for the gear box bell housing or for turbine/downpipe clearances. The Datsun 510 would be a very good project in my opinion, I have some ideas of what I want to do but for now I am just "dreaming" on my part until I find a desirable SSS to work on. Email me on-the-side and discuss this further if you are serious about restoring your dad's 510. Cheers !. [/QUOTE]
