A Cement mixer was at my work today with......
Yup you guessed it an Injected A14 block
Apparently it was a low mileage jap import job to replace the clapped out A12 that used to be on it. Diddnt get much of
a good look unfortunatly.

Anyone else seen any A-series motors doing unusual work?

Hey all,

Im just making som inquiries into the Fuel Injection you can get for the A-series.

1. Does anyone have a setup they want to sell?
2. Has anyone bought one b4?, I have no Idea on price.
3. I heard that the Head's on the fuel injected engines were different to the carb
models is this true?

Any info appriciated!

cheers,

Thanx for bringning up the good points. I've since done a bit of research (with my tape meassure) and decided the too hard basket is where that little idea will
stay for a while.

But a V6 conversion does sound rather apatizing might have to do a bit of research into that.
cheers for the info guys.

I've been looking arround for a new toy to play with latley and I was thinking along the lines of an sr20det conversion for an old 1000 sedan ive got lying arround, I noticed in a car mag
a little pulsar that had this engine in 4wd setup, what do you guys recon of the conversion?, Im not too fussed on time or effort(and I realize a bit of $$$ would be needed) but I rekon it
would be worth it for a 4wd 1968 pocket rocket.

anyone done or even considerd this before?
or should I chuck it in the too hard basket and go for the rwd option.

cheers

Nah sorry not in Syd, I'm over here in perth where a joint called "HansOn Exhausts" did it.
But to find them all I did was check the phone book and did the ring arround to all places offering custom made exhausts. shouldnt be too hard to find a place over there I
found at least 5-6 places able to do it here.

BTW - have you still got the allround drums on your 1ltr, Im reasearching a disc brake conversion for mine an Im looking for any info. Cheers!

I also have a 1000 with an A14 not wanting the stock manifold to hinder those escaping gasses, I searched arround for a set of extractors to fit.
After trying many makes and brands to suit everything from a 1200 to a Sunny i gave up and went to a place that custom makes extractors.
for $250 I got a choice set of tuned length extractors with plenty of clearence, even under full lock with alot of engine twistage I've never had a problem. Might
be your best bet!.

Go the Mighty 1 ltr!!

As far as i knew Discs were an optional extra on all 1200 models, The Drum Dia is the same front to rear, but the wheel cyl
are a different setup.
I had a bushbomb with rear drums on the front.
It seemed to work, but it was only driven on weekends so Im not to sure of the long term affects.

My condolences to you and your family,

your 1200 was an exclelent example,(and an animal looking car I must say)
Having just lost the back end of my datto to an idiot, I can sympathise with you.
Good to see you'll be keeping the datto spirit alive, please keep us posted about
your new project.

Hey there, always good to see a new 1000 owner,
I own a 1000 4 door sedan and a ute.
The sedan runs an A14, but is currently off the road, for a few more mods:Discs, better carbs,5 speed and
lastly a new diff.
If you need any info i'd be happy to help.
