Thanks a lot, Ray.
I talked to a fellow in yesterday who mirrored your remarks, stating that the Datsun would be a much better choice. He's a Nissan mechanic and has had experience racing 1200/1300/1400 and 1500 push rod Nissan engines. He claims they're almost bullet-proof.
That's good enough for me...I'm going for the Datsun engine/transmission. Now, I have to locate a rear end.(The guy with the BMC engine will not separate the drive train)
I know where there's a wrecked Volvo with a pair of SUs on it. I believe it's a '70 model and I can get the carbs cheaply. I have no idea what size the Volvo engine is, but should I grab them while I have a chance? I have a manual somewhere for SUs, but haven't used them before..
