I need to know some tunners that build a12'z to get advice on what pistons and rods. Sizes,types, etc..?

Can you fellas tell me where i can get a 5 speed gearbox, a15 motor in good nic and the extras (extractors webbers cam etc.) to do up. The a12 gujin pin is rattling real bad it uses more oil than fuel. lol. The mountes and x members wont be a prob, niether the labour costs. Thanks for the help so far very appreciated.

I would love some more help on were to get parts and an a15 motor. I also would like a 5 speed reconditioned.

everyone will tell you to go big and nasty, which is all well and good if you have time and money.
i opted for the A15 as it was affordable and relatively easy. on the 74 you will need to make x member changes (fabrication is the easiest way) and a few other little bits that you will easily overcome along the way. If i had have known about the x members, it would have been a 10 hr job with a mig welder and grinder. If you want more details, let me know...
oh, i got a real clean A15 for $700. with new starter motor, fan belt, electric thermo fan, webber, paint and no labour charge (did it with a mate) i came in under $1000

I have a 1974 model Datsun ute with an a12 standard which is about to #### its self. I have looked at many motors and was thinking about rebuilding an a15 boring it out and putting a turbo on but there is to many motors to chose from what is the cheapest way to get the best result. I would need my car to drive to tafe and around town so yeah. any help and advice would be appreciated thanks fellas. And chicks.

New rings & bearings, were i can get a camshaft webbers, holly Extractors Basically I would love to beef up me little ute and being young i have no idea were to get the goods from so any help would be VERY much appreciated. Thanks.
