thanks 4 that...still learning...i'm having to put in an engine in my recently purchased 1200 sedan, that i got out of a ute 4 100 dollars...goes fine too...b'cos me old ones blowin steam out the exhaust...and leakin water every possible place...and now she went and ceased up on me...

No problem swapping a 71-73 ute engine into a sedan or coupe.

Apparently the 1971-1973 A12 differs from the 1974-up A12. The engine mounts presumably are different. If so, you just need to make the usual A14 mount modifications. See the Tech Section article How to fit Datsun A14 & A15 Engines.

is there any probs dropping a standard A12...
out of a ute...into a 4 door sedan...
