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!

Good looking Patrol. I'd be interested in seeing how that Chevy fits in there.

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.
