Ron Linstra 1966 Patrol hard top

Post by Coyote Patrol »

Hi this is my 1966 Nissan Patrol. I inherited it from my grandmother several years back. Engine was worn out, so i put a 1967 chevy 292 in it. It runs great now, just needs a Little body work. I use it every day and for hunting. Its my pride and joy! :dance: :D

Good looking Patrol. I'd be interested in seeing how that Chevy fits in there.
Beyond any hope for intervention

Everything works even the speedo. I had to fabricate a transmission adapter to fit the Patrol bell housing. The 292 looks original to the Patrol.

Note in the second pic, the brake resevoir, it is from a mid to late 90s ford f150 plastic clutch master cyl. If you get a hacksaw and carefully cut off the resevoir it will press right onto the Patrol brake cyl. Then i just used a hose clamp, doesnt leak.
