yeah you can, but you have to move your radiator forward and it throws the balance of the car off.

a datsun six is about 4kg heavier than a 245 hemi 6.

try a stick to a four cylinder for ease of conversion.

When I was in athens I saw a heap of datsuns, more than any other part of europe.

I also drove past a few importers that had R32 front cuts sitting in their yards, so im assuming Vaxe might be able to source a 4 cylinder nissan motor for his rig if he looks hard enough.

cut the firewall out and gut the back of your dashboard - sit the motor as far back as possible. then make a firewall to suit the new position of your engine.

check that this is legal in your country before you do this though - in australia it's practially illegal.
