How much drop?

I would say find some drop spindles for the front and drop blocks for the rear.

The weight of the motor shouldn't really matter much in this case. IDK where you can find those, you could try to look on infamous nissans classifieds they would have more used stuff for sale but I would just google datsun 720 drop spindles and find a couple sets and buy the best deal.

Yep those are the fronts.

And you could make drop blocks but they are so easy to find, you might as well buy a set. It is a metal block and two huge Ubolts.
Pretty sure the block is milled so the bolts hold it tight.
