My stock 69 HP 1171 motor would pull 5400 RPM's and top out at 94 MPH on the flats in fourth gear. What rear gear are you running to get that 1200 extra RPM's at 96 MPH? I
used the stock 3.9:1 gear. Maybe the station wagon has better aerodynamics than my sedan. My coupe automatic did 107 MPH at 5600 RPM's and has the same gear, 3.9:1.

Hi Peter and welcome to the club. I am glad you learned what the real car is. If I was close I would like your shell but I am just a bit too far away as I need to get a new front
clip for mine is a bit rusted.

Hi Peter and welcome to the club. I am glad you learned what the real
cas is.

I'm off to see the Wizard so I'll see ya'll next year. Keep it between the ditches and may your motors run cool. Watch out for the pigmoblies as they have a tendency to want to
cost you money and don't get drunk this New Years weekend and wreck your 1200. THAT'S AN ORDER.

Hi Sterlingmac,
What is the Pintara? The Pintara I am used to does 180+ MPH with a 351 small block Ford mounted in the back seat to a 6-speed ZF transaxle. The real hot rod. I have never
seen two Pintaras alike. At a Ferarri show, all of them were lined up by models and they all looked exactly the same. There must be another Pintara that you are talking
about.

I can be such a big dummy sometimes, after I posted that, I realized the difference. Most of the Pantera's that I have seen have the Windsor small block motors in them, only a few have
had the Cleveland motor, same as the GT-40. They made the GT-40 before the first Cleveland motor was built in 1968. The Windsor motor is much quicker and weighs lots less. The
Cleveland is heavier duty and has more torque for heavier cars. Both have the 4 inch bores.

When I click to the datsun 1200 site, I get a blank page. Am I missing
something here Daniel?

THE MOST ACCURATE WAY TO FIND YOUR OPTIMUM MAX RPM'S ON A STOCK 1171 ENGINE IS TO LOOK AT THE TAG ON THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIREWALL. MINE SAYS 69 HP
AT 6,000 RPM.

I have just found a Mazda RX7 LSD rear. It seems an easy swap and it seems strong enough to handle all I can do with an
A-series engine.

My 1200 front always slide when the road is wet if I have tires smaller than 185's. I run 185-55-13 on the front mostly and 185-60-14 on the rears. It is hard to make the front
push in the rain with the 185's.
