Re: Modern Atlas Engine Swap, not easy but worth it

I have yet to see how it all turns out. I like doing things differently than the crowd, which always means harder in the long run. This swap should make a Patrol go along at highway speeds and drop the 0-60 time by 20 seconds at least. I would have liked to stay Nissan, but they have gone back to th...

Modern Atlas Engine Swap, not easy but worth it

I am in the process of swapping a 2004 GM Trailblazer Atlas 4.2 inline 6 into my 67 Patrol. I am using the engine with the stock ECU reflashed with the auto trans, anit-theft and other junk removed from Jeremy at Limeswap. The engine will use the factory 4L60E bellhousing with an adapter plate bolte...

Parts on the east coast Engine, trans, transfer case, axlesl

I have a complete 1966 running engine with transmission, transfer case, driveshafts, and front and rear axles. I just freshened the engine with a hone job, fresh rings, rod bearings, gaskets. It has the electronic forklift distributor and it has a GM Carb on it I just rebuilt. I drove the Patrol aro...

Spark Plug Wires for Helmar/ non-W.P. Distributor?

Has anyone found an easily sourced spark plug wire set that works with the Helmar conversion? I was hoping for something I can easily pick up at the local auto parts store... maybe a set from a 280Z, Ford truck with a 300/6, 60's Ford mustang, or Dodge slant six? I looked at some pics on rock auto a...

Emblems and horn button

i I am missing the emblems on my '66. The "NISSAN" on the hood, I do have but it is in pieces (probably un-repairable). Both "NISSAN PATROL" badges on the fenders are gone too. I am also looking for a horn button. My steering wheel is ok (has some cracks) but I will use it or put...

Windshield Hinges???

Are there any sources for hinges? both of mine were broken off. Not sure if someone had found a NOS source or hinges from something else that worked. I can fix mine, but thought I'd ask too. I am having windshield glass cut locally for $175. I had asked if they would keep the pattern in case other m...

Re: New Owner in York Pennsylvania

Well, I must have an early door on the driver's side. Does Tres in Utah sell parts? I would love to get a couple of things. Drivers door, better windshield frame, emblems (since all mine are gone). Here are a few pics of the old girl.

WP cap and rotor no more?

I have been looking for a WP cap and rotor for a few days. Haven't had much luck. They are in poor shape on my '66. I am considering the Helmar conversion and a Pertronix. I actually found 2 other dealers with distributors at about the same cost and a cool cross reference of other forklifts that use...

New Owner in York Pennsylvania

Hello everyone. My name is Nathan and I just had a 66 Patrol shipped from Utah to PA. I had almost bought a really rusty one years ago here in PA and have always had a soft spot for them. When I found this one, I had to have it. I case anyone is interested, right after I had bought this one, the pre...
