Whoops! I stand corrected, same bottom end different Label
H and U are the same bottom ends while U20 is OHC using
the H20 pushrod bottom end. Clever Prince meets Nissan.

hi guys think all urvans had h20 or z20 or z24 no u20 I know of cheers rob

No if any conversions at all for Urvans Ive seen is they are converted to L series rather than U20 but U20 is a better motor for durability.

All Urvans had the U20 then later ones used the Z and Ka while vanettes A15 are rare now but also later ones are Urvans with Z series usually.

You will still find an old U20 urvan somewhere trust me they are round more than fairladys, Ive seen still plenty on the road with one old couple that use it for markets clocked over 1million kms.

cheers D, I remain on the search. Didn't know they put these in the Urvan's this may open a new avenue of searching..

Dem Nissan vans are alright! (a15 vanette and u20 urvan) new appreciation for vans


edit: maybe it was a transplant U20 :/

A shame cause not that long ago there was a U20 engine Urvan at Kilsyth pick a part in victoria. 180 can take the whole engine. Also keep an eye out on gumtree there was always one advertised rebuilt for around 400 but in Tasmania.

Dont know anything else though just have to be patient, try oZdat for sure if u havent

Looking for one of these for historic racing. Looked far and wide, really trying to find one. If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated.


Just the motor would be nice, but if there is still a '67 Fairlady lying around, we just might be able to make a deal.

contact me on this site or call my dad Phil on 0428 742 950. Warning if you talk to him about datsuns he may talk your ear off. Thanks again!
