2JZ Datsun 1200 pickup?
Does anyone know if this has been done or if it could be done? The Datsun Sunny truck is the only truck I like the look of and a 2JZ would be nasty. I know they did it with the 1200 coupe and I know they’ve K swapped and SR swapped them. Would the engine bay be big enough?

It's probably possible but you should ask on a datsun forum for more support. Would be a pretty expensive build too. A lot of the manual transmissions (non motor) go for around 5k+ alone.

I figured it’d be pricey because those trucks are already a unicorn and 2J’s are hard to come by as is. I figure with the truck and all parts it’s probably end up being 40k but it would be the best truck on the street imo. Plus they look so good lowered. They got that muscle car look with a bed.

Come on dude. The only engine to use would be a Gallo 12. I think the 24 would be too much.

LS Swap is always the answer, unless the answer is Miata, but even then, LS Swap is better.

Be a very expensive and tricky project to end up with a $20K car at the end of it.

I get what you’re saying. But still it would just be something different. I mean what would you do besides poop your pants if a Datsun Sunny Truck puller up next to you sounding like a nasty straight piped V8 or a dirty swirly 2JZ? I’d definitely be pooping, peeing, and puking because that would be super sick. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

If I saw a proper set up on the strip I would be impressed they managed to get it done.
If I saw a slammed, over tired, nosy as fuck, one on the street I would laugh my ass off because there is no way they could put that power to the ground and it is all just bullshit show for the flat brimmed, vaping, face tattooed crowd.
