 Re: the a14
How do you all think a CA16 would look in here?

I just spoke to the guy who built my kb10... a very useful conversation. He is going to try and chase up the cams log book for me. There was a heap of suspension mods that I didnt know about, which should be useful.

He reckoned that he thought about putting a ca16 in and that it was quite possible... in fact it almost bolts onto the datto 4spd. What do you all think?

Cheers- Ian

I think a well built A15 would be a better solution. Not much less power but lighter therefore not wrecking the handling. Eveyone seems to totally dismiss A-series these days. Keep it cheap, keep it simple and have fun. If you really wanted to do a cheap conversion go an l-series. Even then remember the handling.

Well thats what I thought, but it only weighs about 95kgs, around the same as an a series.

It seems that you can get them from the wreckers for about $200

I have no experience or really much knowledge of a CA16 appart from the fact there not as strong as a ca18 nor is the head any good. Unless you fit a ca18de or det head. Its not just the cost of the engine. Theres heap of other costs to consider when doing conversions.
