Id like to know from someone who has done a swap like this or has a fairly good knowlege into what needs doing to make this fit..

So if someone could be kind enough..
Tell me everything that would be needed to be done to make this fit and such.. ?

So far from what i can gather..

Stumpy Skyline box MR30 ?

The club articles How to fit L16, L18 and L20b engines - tbc and What's the best engine to put into a 1200? have information on this.

So witht the stanza X Member it all bolts in ?

Just id like to know before i go ahead and start a project :)

Also the article doesnt mention it...

What about the diff and tailshaft ?

Just use stock 1200 ?

Stanza struts and brakes id suspose ?

A B310 diff and a (shortened) B310 tailshaft will work those transmissions.

im guessing you mean 120y for us

not sunny as it has coil rears

also not mentioned u will have 2 run a Hydrolic clutch for L series Gear box.. u can get these out of 180b's 1600's ect customise it 2 fit.
im just curently half way through preparing my L20B conversion swaping 180b Xmember and sump and when i get holidays have it ready 2 drop in...

The Stanza x-member (HL510 A10 chassis in U.S.?) and sump is a front hang, but the rest of the install is a bit unclear (aside from hacking the radiator support). I guess the L20B deck height won't cause a problem?

Daganabit!

I could have done an L18 conversion and been happy with it as opposed to this slowpoke A14 I've got now.

Check out this guy who claims to have run a 12.96 with a normally aspirated L18 (stroked, but no nitrous).

maybe I should take the time to sit down and write something up properly, cause this comes up pretty regularly.

Stanza x-member doesn't bolt-in. I didn't use the Stanza x-member, just picked the saddles off it and welded them on the 1200 x-member.

I had a custom tailshaft made with strong, cheap, and readily available Ford unis.

I used a 120Y borg warner diff initially. They are easily strong enough for the job. I now use the same series BW diff, but the wider housing and lower ratio available in 70's vintage Corollas, using the 120Y yoke/flange.

Hydraulic clutch conversion is fairly straightforward. Just remember to brace the firewall with a stell plate as well where the master cylinder mounts.

I'll answer any other specific questions you've got, but here's some other threads with L series info from as recently as last week to get you started:
I might be picking up an engineless 1200
200B parts into a 1200 coupe

DVLDAT, I know there are some old threads discussing the 120Y L series swap. I can't find them, but there's a couple of pics from when I did the swap here

Het Mat - it's never too late...

Ok ive sorta got this all worked out in my head now :)

Remove engine mounts from L Series X Members and weld into 1200 member to fit the engine low and far back as possible ?

Secondaly... can the same be done for the gearbox member ? or will i need to fabricate one myself ?

Which gearbox would go in the easist ? no point doing things the hard way :)

How do the inlet manifold clear the strut towers ? close fit ?

Custom tailshaft that mates up from the gb to diff ?

And do you have a picture of this Drag Link ?

So far this is starting to excit me :D
