A13 (1980)

The 1980-1982 A13 used the same block as the A12 and same stroke of 70 mm, but with a 76 mm bore for a slight increase in displacement to 1270cc. Aside from powering Datsun cars, this engine was used as the base for TS Cup racing and a number of Formula Pacific & Formula 3 race engines

Applications:

1980-1982 Datsun Sunny B310 Asian markets (Japan and Southeast Asia)

A13 Racing Engines

Prior to 1980, TS racing cars (1300cc class) used an A12 engine bored out to just under 1300cc.

See A12 Works Engines

1300cc racing engines from 1970 were a bored-out A12, with the block stamped as 'A12', although racing engines starting in 1980 preferred the new A13 block.
