Boy oh Boy am I excited to spend money this week . So first things first. I'm selling the old motor and transmission out of the Datsun . If anyone is interested just let me know. I'd let this thing go for dirt cheap or even trade for something cool . Who knows..

Now for the good stuff, I went into town last week and managed to find a oil pan , a intake manifold and throttle body and got the flywheel I needed. When I went to get the flywheel I spoke to Chris who will be doing the tune on the Datsun. He showed me some of his other cars that are complete daily drivers . One being a 2013 Jeep Wrangler that was "Bro'd" but did have a 5.3 liter with a big cam.

After talking about what will be done to the car when he does the tune. It looks like I'll -be doing a cam swap . He recommended two cams the Comp Cam 54-457-11 273/281, Lift .610/.617 and the bigger Comp Cam 54-458-11 277/285, Lift .614/.621.

I will be going with the smaller of the two because I plan on driving the car long distances as well as a daily driver . Either way the car will sound like a pissed off monster.

We need to get this to H2R asap.

It's a 64.5cc chinese engine kit mated to an old Huffy 3 speed, runs about 40mph with a normal sized person on it...absolutely terrifying at that speed since it has no suspension. I've ridden it back and forth to work a few times (10ish miles each way)

It had one when I bought it, which vibrated off, so I welded a lawnmower muffler on, which was lost when the vibrations cracked my crappy weld, so I just left it off at that point. It's loud but not get you in trouble loud. Mostly folks just think it's cool.

I have an update, got the tube back on, but unfortunately one of my coworkers had an accident and trashed his car, I let him borrow the bike till it gets fixed or replaced, dunno how long that will take...and given his enthusiasm, he might just decide to buy the bike off me, so I will not be able to bring it anytime soon, looks like.
