Bloody tools, Fast Fours and Rotaries is a better book anyway

The early 60s Datsun E-series engine was an improved re-design of that. But yes the Datsun A-engine is very different ... 3 generations removed but with (barely) recognizable A-series roots from Austin design.

The caption says that the Datsun A series engine is almost a dead copy of the Morris A series [which is actually an Austin engine anyway] If these brain dead morons took so much as 30 seconds too compare the two engines they would realise that the only similarity is in the fact that both are 4 cyl OHV engines. Here the similarity ends.

Australia Posts: 8287	Re: boofheads engine bay shot in hot4 To call our Datsun engines copies of Morris engines is like saying that your 1200 is a copy of an Austin A40.[& what a POS that is] They both have four wheels, but basicly, the similarity ends there.

This is why morris drivers upgrade to the Aseries of course because the morris motor is indentical, they just change to Aseries for the fun of it and cause thier a vunerable motor lol... B120 - venerable not vulnerable. Venerable means respected, honoured, revered and esteemed. It's a good thing!!!
