Hello, I just found your club and I had to join. I had a 1200 sedan for over 300K and it never failed me. I failed it quite often but it always came through. After owning it for eight years,
I built the motor and turbocharged it. Paeco in Birmingham, AL has valve trains, pistons, rods and cranks that are unsurpassed but a but costly. I put 90K miles on that motor without a mishap
and it was at 8.5 - 9000 rpms all the time. This was a 1972 A12 motor. After that motor I installed a normally aspirated 8000 rpm A14 that was hard to beat. That car lasted until 1989. As for
the A15 motor, is cannot get the rpm of the A14 or the A12 motors. I now have a 1200 coupe and I installed a 65 HP A14 with the 1977 heavy duty Tranny. The first gear is to you and back like
on the old three speeds. It is an excellent tranny but it does use a bit more horsepower from the enging than the standard tranny. The drive shaft end is the same as larger Datsuns and the
1200 automatic is the same also. I can cruise at 70 and still get over 40 MPG with it. There and cars that get better gas milage, there are cars that handle better, and there are cars that
out perform the 1200 but there are NO CARS that can do all three better than the little B110.
