Yeah been plugging away with all the vody work, finished one side still got the other to do then final prep and paint. Hopefully got enough time to get there, just so i can get onto the mini.

managed to score an A14 and 5speed over the weekend :)
the A14 is apparently bored out, head looks brand new , pistons, rods and crank all look brand new / freshly machined.
so hopefully its all good, kinda weird it didnt have a timing chain. so i have a fair list of parts to find to get it complete , if anyone local has the following parts hit me up :)
1. Tailshaft 2.Rocker arm bolts 3. Carbies to suit the mani 4. Sandwich plate , flywheel and clutch 5. Gearbox crossmember 6. Oil pump bolts 7. Front timing cover bolts 8. alt bracket and alternator 9. Radiator
will most likely buy clutch n rad brand new but u never know what unfinished projects are around

A14 and 5-speed getting harder and harder to find these days.- Well done
Shouldnt be too hard getting all the other bits (except maybe the carbies)

Nice work. Got a few late A12 engines here. Bolts you need should be the same and a flywheel (needs Machining) imagine would be the same. And alternator brackets to.

I mite have a few parts for you
I,m in perth to
shane

Cheers guys I managed to get most of the parts online and some local, I picked up some GX carbs that match my manifold , still unsure if I’ll run em tho kinda keen on EFI or a Sidedraft Webber setup

Welcome back to the dark side!

little bit of an update
managed to score an old workshop manual, painting the block turned into stripping the block down and sending it off to the machine shop after finding some issues. pretty happy i found a set of wheels for the ute, just gotta find some low profile tyres now.
waiting on a heap of part from Datsun parts shop , NZ datsun parts , about time spares and Ebay
currently chasing a dogleg 5 speed gear knob , stainless steel weather shields , bullet fender mirrors , a14/15 head bolts and a complete weber manifold setup
