The ute must go this weekend! the ute is going outside on monday. as it is a bare metal shell it wont take long for the rust to do its thing. i will take one dozen beer for someone to take this ute of my hands. must go! cheers . chris

I regretfully have to sell my datsun 1200 ute. this body has mostly been paint stripped, the underside is mostly been stripped of underseal. the body has bad rust on the rear quarters, inner guards and sills. but is repairable. two doors and tailgate come with it which are not stripped. the shell is only half rolling with the rear end in place but no front struts. i am open to any offers for this, pick up only,pictures can be seen in album. thanks chris

As far as sr16ve's go they are dimensionally exactly the same as a sr20ve, same bore, essentially the same block just short stroke.
I can't say whether it will turn rwd easily as i think the mounts are in completely different places.Plus as you say, the distributer is in the way.
Its easy enough to adapt a CAS but the solenoids that activate the cam switching are quite large on sr16ve and early sr20ve so even if you moved the dissy the solenoids are still quite large. There is a picture in the photo album of a sr20ve in a fwd which will give you a visual idea of the size of everything and where the mounts are.
finally go to www.sr20forum.com they have a whole section on ve's which will be very helpful.
But if you want to do it and have the money then go for it :)
