Can anyone help me and possibly give me some info on the A12 GX head.
I bought an A12 engine the other day which has twin su's attached. I bought the complete motor because I want to put the twin Su's on my A15 in my ute. When I took the manifold off I noticed that the head had oval ports and not round ports. I looked inside the oil filler with a torch and noticed that it has double valve springs.

The stud pattern on the side of the head where the manifold bolts up to is the same as my A15 with two studs instead of one. There looks like there is a water jacket under the ports for the cooling system which run into the manifold also.

Is there any numbers on the head or block to determine if it is a GX engine or just a GX head?
If it is one.

What is the significance of the water from the cooling system flowing through the manifold as I don't know if my A15 head has the water jackets under the ports.

If it is an A12 GX head what would it be worth in aussie dollars.

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks

Kelvin.

There is a place in Canberra called Canberra Car Styling who have a front air dam for the 1200. If you go to www.canberracarstyling.com.au then click on visit our photo gallery then click on datsun then 1200 you can see a picture of the air dam on a black ute. I am not sure of the price, you will have to send them an email.
Hope this helps

Justin,
Don't sell the dash on me, I will give you a ring and organise a time with you to come
and pick it up.
Thanks
Kel.
