This would have been from the A14 'Thrift' engine & it would have had a water heated manifold, hence the need for the coolant holes.

They are from an A12 engine. Sanitora is a nickname for Sunny Truck. Probably early 90s A12.

Notice how cleanly this engine was burning. The exhaust valves are the perfect color.

The chambers look to be quite tall too. It would have to be a pretty low performance head one would think..........

Ddgonzal is more across this one than me, but the US model 210 [AKA B310/Sunny] was available with an economy version of the A14 engine.

This was an A14 tailored for maximum economy & it used a round port head with the oval port stud pattern.
This engine was down on brute power but was as thrifty as hell & could stretch ones fuel dollar further than just about anything else in it's class at the time.

A few of these are turning up in Australia & it's unlikely that they came from the US, so I wonder if they were used in other applications either in Australia, or in Japan.

There was a huge drive to ship in container loads of Jap car parts from Japanese wrecking yards during the 70's & 80's & I still don't know if the practice has ended entirely yet, but lots of JDM stuff turned up here back then.

I still have a manifold for one of these with an electric choke carb on it thats left over from about 20 years ago.
