I put an L20B with headers and twin SU's into a sunny coupe once.
It was lots of work, and the end result was very disapointing. I'd never bother with an L series motor again.

hi, please go ahead and click New Topic (at the top of this page) and put the title as "L-series engines in a B210". This topic is for putting one in a 1200.

Personally except for being an all datto conversion I would build one with the Suzuki G13B as power to weight not only helps in straight line performance but handling and braking.
I own a Mark 1 GTI Suzuki and stock with 100 HP it weighs 683KG dry and absolutely kicks ass when compared to the 4AGE engined Toyotas,That shows what a difference overall power to weight makes as the right 4AGE makes between 110 to 125 HP ex factory. No slightly hot L series gets near that,The most powerfull L series ex factory was the Injected 180B SSS in Japan with 125 HP.

Finding a good L series is becoming an issue as well with corrosion of the Heads causing potential problems,A later Suzuki Engine is modern,Light and available for a good price and suits a light car like a 1200 Coupe and is a bolt up RWD conversion thanks to the Sierras being compatable and using a separate Transfer case setup for the 4WD.

The Mark 1 used a Distributor and Fuel only Computer so these allow a twin weber conversion quite easily and that really makes them crack,The later engines had upgraded timing belts (Wider and Stronger) but went to a full management system,The Mark 1 Dissy can be retrofitted and with twin Webers would be a cool conversion with great power to weight.

i think your missing the point. yes there are plenty of cheep modern engines available that are light with good power and bolt in fitting kits BUT if you want a period engine for a low cost that has a #OOPS#load more power than an a series the l series wins.
i can't tell you how many people wet there pants when i pop the bonnet and they see the humble l18e in there, even people with big power datos.
