lol attempted putting A14 into my 120y coupe today but no go, left hand side engine mount is too far inward so bolt is estimatly 1.5" to 2" too far inwards. anyone have any idea how to get around this?

cheers

get the mount off a a12a engine thats what i did

You could do the cheap and easy thing that I did !! get piece of 40x5 steel around 80mm long drill two holes the right distance appart one goes onto the engine mount the other onto the rubber. I had this setup in a old ute with warm A15 for years without any troubles From memory it was pretty close to the fuel pump.

Shouldn't he not have to, having a 120Y and all?
Don't they already have A12A's in them?

Did the new engine come out of a 1200 or something?

I think your right A14 should go into 120Y without any mods needed maybe the A14 engine has different mount??? Not sure on that one Either way it easy to fix.

hmmm got me buggered too,

should go in im sure, but hey obviously not
bet you were spewin

id say make up a plate like described or cant you redrill the hole in the engine mount brackets to shift it a little?

I've been told that the A12A wasn't sold in australia. It's a US version 1979-1982 with 1237cc instead of the A12 at 1171cc.

Could this A14 be out of a front-wheel drive car?

Or maybe it's not an A14 ... look on the flat spot near the distributor, it will be stamped on the block.

I'm with ddgonzal,
where did the A14 come from?
also are you 100% its a A14?

My experience tells me that an A14 should drop straight into a B210.

I have uploaded a pic here of a similar setup in my 1200 coupe. It shows the plate used to line up the engine with the mounts....quality is a bit crappy.....but it's heaps easier to use the phone than to rip the camera!

Cheers.

the passenger side mount on the block needs to come off the 120y motor being the a12 and put it on the a14 thats what i did and have had no troubles

1. bracket off passenger side a12 120y engine
2. put on the a14 on the passenger side
