The suspension tree might be the reason my neighbors quit speaking to me. I'm hoping they keep up their sense of humor.

The Roadster Transmission is going to go into my '70, provided I can get the shifter rebuilt properly. Dann at Ralley has been helpful with parts there.

New tires arrived; being mounted today. 225/50/15 Toyo R888's. Funny how some tires help you feel like the project is coming together. I might not have anything in the car by way of a drive-train at the moment, but darned if I don't have some new rubber. Eiji should be done with the new motor this weekend, and hopefully by Sunday I'll have the new Datsun Spirit motor back home.

I even live near you (MD).

The only difference so far is I haven't pulled my motor (yet).

Good work so far.

Eiji was kind enough to provide some photos from throughout the build. I thought I'd share a few of them before discussing the final product.

Here's the donor L28. We struck out on a multitude of blocks and heads, and ultimately used this N47 head to move things along. The block proved to have some issues in a cylinder, and we used another L28 (F54) from his stock.

Lots of neat in-process photos. Here's some photos of the N47 head, complete with the DSI STR2.8B Camshaft:
