Dave,
Done or not done what? The 2000 engine swap, or a side pipe?
I put a '69 2000 motor into my '66 1600 (bought in 1971) in 1972. Never
regretted it. Did not do a 5-speed because I wanted to maintain the trans
tunnel and console stock, andother reasons. We lived in Irvine, California
at the time, and I bought the U20 out of a wreck in Escondido which had
20,000 miles on it.
I have a friend who has an early '67 with a U20 and 5-speed. The PO who did
the transplant did not drop the trans support, instead he drilled a hole in
the side of the tunnel to get the speedo cable to the trans. Also, I can
still see the brand-new U20 and 5-speed on its pallet in the Downey Datsun
dealer's shop in 1972 -- newly delivered from Japan for someone who wanted
to muscle-up his 1600.
The U20 absolutely transforms the car. The first time I lit it off, and
drove it around the block without even putting the hood back on, I said to
myself "YESSS!".
Gary
