A12 dizzy will be right if its a late block with the dizzy in the middle otherwise its just a simple baseplate change. The radiator will be sufficient but not the best. I ran a standard radiator behine my worked 1400 and it did tend to get quite hot on the highway. Upgraded to a gemini and no more problems. Had a sunny one as well which worked well. Easier fit than the gemini. Alternator wiring will be fine again if its a late block. Will need slight rewiring if its an early block. And the last thing i can think of the a14 needs engine mount spacers to mover it back around 25mm i think(just search it). Plate steel with two holes drilled. Simple.

Thanks for the info Dodgeman! I can always rely on you for it.... ill run that through to the guy when i go look at it....

Ive actually got the A12 in my coupe remember :P

Will the A12 dizzy, radiator etc be alright to use on this motor? (as it doesnt come with any jus tthe head and block)

An A14 engine, with a 77mm stroke will need an 80mm bore to reach 1548cc.
Thats 4mm over standard & frankly, I don't think it can really be done with any guarantee of reliability as the gap between the end pairs of cylinders becomes VERY small & is hard to seal with the head gasket.

If, however, this is really an A15, or perhaps an A14 that has been fitted with an 82mm stroke crank from an A15, then the bore would need to be only 77.5mm to yeild 1547cc. This just happens to be the third [& largest] standard oversize for these 76mm bore sized engines & is a size that is easy to get pistons for & will have no real problems with gasket sealing between the end pairs of cylinders.

If it truly is an A14 engine [with 77mm stroke] & it really does displace about 1550cc, I would be a bit wary of it.
Any A14 or A15 will perk up the KB10 quite a bit, even in near stock trim as you are looking at a nominal 40 to 50% boost in capacity alone & most of it is in the stroke which will yeild a big boost on torque over the A10's short 59mm stroke.
You'll love it.

Hey all... called a guy today about an a14.... its been bored out to 1550 cc (cant memba exactly it was around that figure), big cams he sed it was around 36/38 or something.. built 1 year ago by Al's engines. Just need some feed back on what you people think of it in the 1000? will all the A12 stuff on my car bolt onto the engine? (doesnt come with dizzy radiator etc).
