ok thanks...i'm planning on using a 5.1:1 or 5.3:1 rear end on the 1200. I think it should fit with those measurements...its 50" from drum to drum.

Might have to use a Solid 2' spacer wid long wheel studs tho.

vanette Engine is probably an A series. Most likely A14 or A15.

Vanette boxes have a strange shifter section, as they are all column shift. Basically the same gearset tough.

well dismantled the engine 2day appears to be an A12 but has an A15head . So might jus fit a L16 or L20b engine in it now.

ps.can a L16 sump fit unto a L20b block. Cause the l20b came from a 200b and has the pickup in the middle.

Yeah the L16 sump fits. You also need the L16 oil pick up.

sure its not an L18?? Most (if not all) L20b's came with the forward sump, while the L18's came with the mid sump....

my website in case you haven't seen it yet:
info on L series into 1200
might find some useful info there
