Hi all,
Small Ford badged Nissan mid to late 80's I think. 2ltr motor with the 8 sparkplugs. I have no idea what motor it is. I am rather ignorant with such matters, I'll try and get a pic. Does anyone know which one I am talking about and are the motors ect OK for 1200 conversion? I have been offered on at a good price (FREE)to get out of their yard. Am I wasting my time?

8 sprk 4cyl. Sounds like Z-series engine.

Basically L-series with crossflow head.SO yes good for 1200.

could be ca20e. Which is a horrible motor nothing like the ca18de(t)

Thought about it I think it is one of them Pintara's. So can I use it?

didnt the l series do one of those type of motors??

can u get pics?

gunna try and get over today get some pics

Pete,if you had a decent lake and a boat up there you could use it as an anchor....guess thats why it's free.
Yeah your going to take a photo of a Pintara i suspect.
Could probably use it as a stationary motor for a genny or a pump or fork lift or the like.
Horrible thing!

would be a corsair which is the same as late pintara
ca20 fwd

CA20E is a fine motor for non-Turbo use.
