yeh i worked in a heavy plant pannel shop and they had one i was cut cause it had the same motor as me ute when i first got it lol it didnt look like that motor though

Apparently they made two H20 engine:

- OHC, as seen in the Datsun 2000 roadster
- OHV, as seen here

The OHC engine in the roadster is a U20 but both it and the R16 roadster engine are quite closely related to the H20. I think an R16 head might even fit on an H20 bottom end. The H20 is pretty similar to the J series engines and probably evolved from the 1950's Austin engines as the J did only without the siamised ports in the head. They kind of look like a giant A series and I would imagine are plenty tunable as they are pretty sturdy. It's very rare engine here so I'm unlikely to encounter another these days.

Thank goodness for Austin, and them putting Nissan on the good path.

I was watching The Prisoner on Wednesday. Is it my imagination, or does that Mini Moke sound like a Datsun A12? I've never actually heard a Mini engine before now.

If it sounded like a lawnmower it would prob be a morris engine They sound a bit higher pitch and dont seem to sound to revv as high, to my ears anyway. My boss has minis.
