    were 510's made from rust in the US as well?

    hmm 180BSSS... stanza SSS?

    for a 10 or 15, just need to lower seat, move it a bit toward middle of car, and lengthen steering column when you do the rack and pinion conversion

    yep.... well kinda... the east coast USA 510s were....

    the west coast cars seem to have been made from something a bit stouter....
    quite a few more around on the left USA coast


    Chuck.... the 510 I'm looking at.... has a wee bit more torque than a 4AG, L16... or L20....



    BUT... just noticing the absence of a wiper motor... AND a place to put a wiper motor!!! Might need some uncustomized work to get the wipers back

    learned a bit more.....
    68 and 69 5dimes had the wiper motor inside the car! Finding one is a VERY difficult task! and once you do... it is usually very expensive! I've been told $200 for a used operable(not rebuilt), in op usually $100!!!! and I've been told there is no such thing as new........

    While still negotiating.... this popped up........



    A 1983 AE72..... without its old tired 4AC..... just needing a place for this.....





    Btw... if you can't make out the cam covers......
