vjones Posted August 24, 2016 Share #1 Posted August 24, 2016 Our 79 Datsun 810 is in need of a new cam. The lifters are bad. What would you all suggest? We were told a 280Z would fit in here, is this true? Where would we find the parts? It's a 79 Datsun 810 2 Door Coupe, straight 6 engine. Thanks.

Patcon Posted August 24, 2016 Share #2 Posted August 24, 2016 Look on the side of the head and see if there are any identifying casting numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Head Posted August 24, 2016 Share #3 Posted August 24, 2016 (edited) 79 is probably the L24E engine, with the "MN47" head. It's the same basic engine as used n the 240Z, 260Z and 280Z, but designed for efficiency and emissions control. Somebody was recently giving away a Maxima in Indiana. That engine would fit, probably perfectly. Or the head would swap over easily. Cam and rocker arm swaps can lead to new problems.
