Everyone gets butthurt about engone conversions for some reason ,if its all done properly what does it matter ?

Nice work mate keep the updates coming , and if its a ca16 then your all sweet ;)

Ok, cool good luck with it. Join the qld performance Datsun club we would love to see it out and about.

Inferior D16 honda sohc 16v with 29mm inlet x 25mm exhaust valves, 75mm bores, 90mm stroke with smaller valves than ca16de are making over 450hp so 200cc less with 31.2mm inlet x 28mm exhaust valves is no problem with boost.

If rules change again im willing to go for a ca12det :) just will need more revs

Well...... 6 hours of painfully installing and removing the hilux diff to fit perfect, its finally in! looks MONSTEROUS! under the little 1000 rear end! :P
now just have to pick up my re slined axels tomorrow morning and she will be a roller again :D
next is to fab up new bracketry for the front ba falcon disks + calipers up front

Nice

Steve Knight or Phunkdoktaspok did a Ford Falcon XE or similar front disc brake setup using the Falcon uprights and using Falcon balljoints as they are more common and looked very good but cant find the pictures.

He machined the double top and single bottom wishbone out to suit the bigger ford BJs.

UPDATE: installed the glove box door, and removed engine to fit brass button clutch and gearbox.
this weekend is swinging in the engine and box to measure for my tailshaft, which will be an estimated 600mm long :P

How does that box sit? Gearstick would be very far back! Usually most 1200 gus use the stumpy or shorter 71B and 71C boxes. Will be interesting how it sits.

Nice Sump looks like you have its gonna be fast with a capital F

Any luck with Steve Knight Kustoms or Steves info I sent you for the brakes?
The XD front setup sounds pretty good using commonly available Ford balljoints and wheel range that is hard to beat.

Hey D, gearstick sits in a suprisingly good spot! just behind the hump in the floor. also not gonna bother with the ford front disks! just going to purchase the mad dat kit just because its all engineered properly and ready to bolt on!

be careful with stud pattern mismatch might not be engineer-able?
For the money of the Maddat you could easily fit the 5 stud XD uprights
dont give up too quickly now you are almost there.
