You're one to talk Andrew... Finished anything you started yet??

Oooh Don Jumps to the defense Ahh i put where im up to with mine go back and read.

yeah paying in other ways, bit hard to do it your self when the boss doesnt know ;)

so got most of it and tracked it down here and there from advice from people that have done it here.

only things i havent done are tunnel going to do with help of another member as my welding is rubbish

motor (had a 2nd handy but sold it and another member has one for me, want l16 but also have option through a mate for a L20 now, most people wpuldnt build one anyway, just use one already done)

X member, other meber is doing along with motor to make it sit right.

all the rest i have got or plan on trying my self... but they are the big 3 stumbling blocks for those that lack some skills or experience (or both in my case)

whos getting payed to do what now?

stock 1200 borgwarner diff will handle to torque of an L20b fine....as long as you run the stock 12 inch wheels that is. makes the driving experience that little bit more fun

Mmmm... I remember swapping ends coming onto the wet freeway with 12's, that was fun.

HA HA Got L20b sump and oil pick up today for mine so on we go tomoz. Do it DAT-QTE it aint rocket science half my brain cells were destroyed in my teens - late 20's and im gettin me head around it (Slowly)

as it said in other ways

h150 should ... i stress should hold up against an l16 for a while, otherwise its a diff swap after a while too, not that there are that may h165's floating around any more cheaply

so now i need to look for a datsun 120y auto to butcher, and should i run 200b brakes?

can i use the origanal crossmember in the 1200 with the l18 motor or what do?

thanks eveyone

im using 200b rotors with toyota corona calipers (girlocks same as stanza except mounting offset) on stanza struts, so yes you can use them, most 13's wont clear 200b callipers but will on stanza set up.

also you will need to modify datsun 1200 x member. there are many mehtods to do this but the one i will use is basically stanza engine perches welded onto the 1200 x member and the 1200 percehs ground off.

this should work with l16 and l20 sump off a blue bird not a 200b one.

so u cant use the sump off a 200b?

can u fit 13s on your brake setup?

so your going to use a stanza x member!!!!

what gear baox are u running!!!

i have a stanza 5 speed, will that fit with a 120y tunnel?

thanks for the help
