BTW, I can't believe how cheap, even for the times, that Datsun parts were
back then. For example:
pistons $5 each
head gasket $7.44
diff gasket $0.44
complete gasket set $29.46
motor mounts $3.88
water pump $19.95
rear brake cyl $5.75
rear axle $15.00
gage, (which one unknown 25070-25600) $10.02
rubber shift boot $10.02
suspension bumpers $1.60 each
competition clutch pressure plate and disk $61.10
stock clutch and disk $43.00
comp ft springs $15 each
comp rear brake shoes(green stuff) $36
new style trans x -member $5.85
new style trans mount $3.50
comp sway bar $28.00
heater core $8.25
top timing chain $5.70(1/68)/13.80(4/72)
bottom chain $5.70
top tensioner $6.26
bottom tensioner $5.70
main bearings $28.35
rod bearings $14.64
valve rockers $3.25 each
complete engine rebuild at Sharp $348.03 parts and labor
forgive the ramblings of an older guy, have a long list of non Datsun
stuff(roll bar, Detroit Locker etc.) but I'll spare you.
