Hey guys I've recently brought a datsun 720. It has the original motor in it at the moment and only a four speed gearbox.
I was just wondering if anyone knows what is an easy engine swap to do it to give me a bit of extra power as I have gotten a job that requires highway driving so the four speed is not for driving on the highway. This is the current motor that is in it.
I'm hoping for something that doesn't require any work or very little.

Unless there is a higher model with a better motor in it I doubt it a conversion will be no work or very little. Best bet is to buy a new car or change to a 5 speed box.

I worded that very wrong like I don't mind doing changes and work but the easiest option in motor choices like what type of motor would fit better?

there will be very little advantage to do any form of conversion with this type of ute, if you are mad keen to keep it, my advice would be to fit a later model 5 speed and only if you get it cheap.
