Hey my names chris and i just brought a dastun 1200 ute to put my dirt bike on the back of.

anyway under my house there is a little rear wheel drive, single overhead cam, nissan engine.

now im just wondering if datsun/nissan stamped A12, FJ20 etc on there engines and if so where?

it will take alot effort to get it out so i cant be bothered searching myself.

anyway. nice to meet you all
chris

hey welcome to the site the engine is probably an L series engine and on about the stamping of engines a sereis is around on the right hand side of the block and is pobably the same with L series not quite sure about others

its not going to be an fj if its a single over head cam
if it has the soch stamped on the cover its most probably an L series
if you post a pic it will be identified in a few minutes

i just looking at some pictures. it looks very very very similar to a ca18!

but its just the block. i think i might drag it out, drop it in the ute

i'll take some pictures this afternoon

i think there was an early model ca series that aactually had a single ohc but hey post the pics up if you know how to

BTW welcome to the site

could be a CA20 from a S3 bluebird.

About as useful as a fork in the eye.

be best if you post it up

im half excited now. only brought the car to get from a to b

well dont get to excited cus if its a ca20 use it as an anchor
