I've wanted a Datsun p/u ever since I was a kid,
and my grandfather started hauling me around with him.
Damn did this thread ever bring back some memories!

Wish to hell I could jump on this one!
Just too much standing in my way!

KILLER truck!  And hope to see it go to a good new owner.

PS  My friend has one.  They nicked it the "DatStang"...
It's sporting a Rustang 5.0, and it is F-A-S-T! haha

Problem is that the OEM T5's aren't that strong, even behind small blocks. A 400 would be very iffy.
You want strength and an overdrive? Install a Gear Vendors unit behind a strong 4 speed: M22, Super T10, Top loader. Not cheap [$2200 for the GV unit], but bullet proof in the long run.
