think the height of the engine would be the biggest worry, i know there block is the height of a Z24 which stands no chance of fitting in a 1200. but the KA heads are smaller so might fit in

14 second 1/4 mile, thats pretty quick! you wont be embarassed by that!

Sure, it's been done. Expect 14 second 1/4 miles with a stock KA24E. So not a rocketship, but as fast as a 5.0 Mustang or 5.7 Camaro.

I just bought a 1972 Coupe and have been putting parts together for a japanese resto-rod project.... Want to know if anyone else has put a KA24E into a 1200 or if I'm just going way too far. I'd like to hear, because it looks like a tight but doable fit. Any tips would be helpful. Was looking to keep it fairly simple and straightforward. Not looking for a rocketship, but not looking to get embarassed. I intend to drop the motor in and fab up whatever need be, then pull the motor and perform a full body restoration. In other words, not my main driver, my datsun truck is, so I've got nothing but time...

Also, what kind of rear disc choices do I have. I think the rear disc setup off the S110 200SX would fit, but there again, I'm a Datsun 720 truck guru, not a Datsun 1200 know-all.
