DD the head has 603 on it and the 28X23A01 is cast into the block on the left hand side just behind the engine mount. I'll and post a pic for you to take a look at. What does the 603 mean?

Hey datto fans,,

I just bought an A14 to rebuild for my ute and have a couple of questions relating to what type it is.The block has H72 and 28X23A01 stamped on it and the head is an H75 and the exhaust manifold has H82 stamped on it.

Thanks for the advice mate.Very helpful

Thanks ddgonzal, good to know that the fuel pump will need an upgrade. I'm hoping for more than 120hp out of the combo. Apart from a lean out, what other risks are associated with running such high comp ratio?

Hi crumb, thanks for the info mate, interesting to hear that no changes are necessary on the webers. The engine will be running in a 1200 ute so I will need to upgrade the fuel lines from the tank to the pump and pump to carbies.

It will be a rebuild of my A14 using an A15 crank, flat top pistons and shooting for a comp ratio of about 12-13:1 using E85.

I've heard that running high comp with E85 will push more HP but not sure how much of a gain I could expect to get. And as yourself and ddgonzal stated bigger jets and more fuel will be the order of the day.

Would this mean that the standard mechanical fuel pump might struggle to keep up fuel flow? And would an electric upgrade be on the cards

Cheers
Shero.

Can you run E85 through carbs? I have a set of 40mm DCOE webers and am looking into what I have to do to the fuel system to run E85 like new fuel lines, pump, filters etc.

Any help or advice is appreciated.
Cheers
