Roadster engines were "j" series engines - pushrod 1500/1600 engines with the exclusion of the 2000. The 2000 was a U20. These are very rare enines and are VERY good - the later 240Z-
280Zx motors were heavily based on these. J series engines could be considered the forefather of our beloved A series in the same way.
L series normally have their number printed near the back of the engine bay - flat into the side of the block, not like the A series, but similar.
L16-L20 are all interchangeable anyway, (excluding a bit of work for the fuel injected L20's and turbo'd L20 so it doesn't really matter what is in it - however if you know the man
and his work, you can try and find out off him what's really in it - just because it's got L16 printed on the outside, you can still take them out to about 2.3 litres with big pistons
and L18/L20 cranks.
For those who need to know the swap to L from J is also an easy one, and we have heaps of roadsters running around with L series engines now in Melbourne.
