[Spridgets] Datsun Rebuild

[dlancer7676 at comcast.net]

I have a Datsun tranny sitting in my basement patiently waiting for me to finish the 1275.  I have been tempted to overhaul the Datsun engine that is sitting beside it and put it in the '79 with the tranny.  It is a 1488 with a lot more hp than the 1500, plus it is lighter.  Anybody ever put the Datsun engine in a Spridget?  Any Caveats?
