Nice toy & you are off to a good start.
I suspect that an "L" series engine will be more grief than its worth. They are perfectly good engines, but probably not the best choice in a 1200 chassis.
I suggest that you look at other options, including a sweet, but strong "A" series like an A14 or A15. These swaps are good value.

I'm partial to the A-engine myself, but several club members with L-engined 1200s are very happy with them. There's no way an A15 is going to outperform an L18 or L20B for the same money.

Have lined up an L18 to give to this poor datto. I would love any tips, or things to look out for, on this conversion. (lookin at you l18_b110).

thanks for the compliment man . In fact, i only got this car back from the painters. It used to be coloured in a light grey/green primer for the past 3years. its been brought back from the dead. if you look in my profile you'll see what it looked like a month ago.
