You'd have to of been smiling all week long

Nice.

Nice to see your "Factory' rocker cover there sir

Quote:

and those, ahemm, "stock" carbies.

nah looking nice mate

what's up with that rocker cover? 1200?? L18's didnt come out in any 1200s did they? custom job im assuming.

whats this, you've never heard of an L12 before???

its the rare one that came in my car just to confuse people

so whitesedan. did i win?

You won bud!

Hows the gearbox holding up?

theres a prize for whoever can point out the most non stock parts in this pic

Wiper motor?

non stock

cant play the game in reverse

ahhh finally!

any figures? estimates?

whats the prize were playing for?

oil breather non stock

aftermarket black primer?

estimate of power was 100rwhp in 40 degree weather on a tuning dyno....about as rough as it gets

stock parts that i can see in the engine bay would be the little electrical doover on the drivers side strut tower and.....the body

steering box

yay 2 whole stocks things

Stock wiper motor wiring?

yeah just noticed that

good to see! I really have a soft spot for L powered 1200's. hopefuly my 120Y will have an L20 sitting in its engine bay in a few weeks time.

it's strange combo of crank/rods/pistons. L16 rods are very short compared to L20B rods, but it should be very torquey! and that cam should really have lots of grunt from 2000rpm onwards. If you have to wait for it to 'come-on', the cam timing's probably a bit retarded.

yeah i was thinking about the we they have stroked it...i was thinking it would have made more sence to use L18 rods as L16 are longer...so with longer rods and longer stroke the piston would be well and truely out of the L18 block(as i dont think the pin height would change enough to compensate)
but thats the way it is and it seems to work so i'll only start complaining if something breaks and isnt what its meant to be

cam doesnt come on till 3500rpm and ive been told to only rev it to 6500
would be good if the cam came on a bit earlier as then it would make up for the crappy gearing

Hey Pigdog well done mate!!.... looks really good and bet it sounds good. Hows it handle??


I think you should move the coil, cause if you get blow back or back fire or something could put some fuel on the coil. doubt it would happen but

Quote:You are going to need to clearly define 'stock' as it applies in this instance.

You might say, ... if it doesn't have a Datsun 1200 part number, then it's not stock & the whole engine, radiator & other stuff is then non stock.

Alternately, you might say that if it doesn't have a Datsun/Nissan part number of any kind, then it's not stock & that changes everything.

So what are the rules here?
Oh yeah, will anyone actually want the prize? [whatever it might be]

Im gona say the Rocker cover!!! because as far as I'm aware there was neve a 1200cc L'series



soooooo.... WHAT DO I GETT??

i love taht rocker cover, glad you finished it finally. Ohh and the "boof" bar too

love th spring holding the dip stick in too, very original

when are doing the KA24e 12V head conversion?

May i sugest from experiance, please move your coil away from the air filter! Why u ask, good old webbers splash fuel in to air filter socks, and if u get a stray spark out of the coil lead BANG! Those filters are like jiffy fire lighters, not good. i lost a 180B this way.
As for the rest i like it lots!

About the comment D made has any one done the KA24 head conversion yet? If not I know who has done the 16 valve head on a 2400 stroker. yes it can be done.ask if u want to know more.

hell yea i want to know more! Probably best to start a new thread so as to not crash this one... cant wait for more info!
