What a beast this car is. The side dumps, the welded rear diff, the lack of traction and overabundance of power...
What a terrible car to drive around.
Here's the 350ci Chevy v8 that's in it now (2.05" camel-hump heads on there)
It currently has a th400 transmission with a steampunk-y ratchet-shifter. The wiring was such a mess when I bought it. It was terrible.
I tore it down pretty completely when I blew up the 283ci v8 I had in it. The 350ci is just a little bit more fun in the same small package (a chevy v8 weighs about the same as the Datsun l6).
This is a video of it with the 283ci in it:
