No...

RB26DETT

now we have.

Shame the 1200 isnt fwd then we could talk about one engine in the front and one in the back. I want to put 2 twin turbo H22's in my civic... that would be fast.

well i think we've told him to put in about ever engine ever made.Wait no we haven't.

Put in a top fuel hemi.

Ok how we have.

gooooooooo...........rotary!

come on, no one has said it yet. I suppose it was done to death a while ago. But i still remember a couple of years ago seeing a coupe with a stock 13bt spanking (really hard spanking) a WRX, whilst spinning the wheels into 5th gear. That memory will live with me forever, ha. Car sold for 2g's too.

Buick is a division of General Motors & the alloy V8 design was sold to Rover, a move that i'm sure that they regret to this day. Buick did in fact produce a V6, but it is like other American V6's, it's made of iron & a bit big & heavy for little Datsun 1200's, although it must be remembered that there is a 120Y out there on the street with a 308 Holden V8 in front of its uncut firewall. Amazing.

I believe that the 60 degree V6 that was found in the Capri was a German Ford engine. Something in the back of my gray matter tels me it had a Herron head design. Can anyone confirm?

why go the V6 surely if "bullet cars" in brisbane can fit a 4ltr lexus v8 supercharged into a MX5 it would go close to fitting a 1200

What about the V6 that they stuffed in the early model GT Capri?........ That's a pretty small car....... Was that a Buick?

A mid mount engine in a ute. I think that's a good idea.

Keep look at the jap datto site's it's only a matter of time.

The Rover V8 is a good engine [because it's a rebadged 1963 Buick F85 engine,... really] but its a V8 & the question is about V6's It's also long,.. too long.

The Daimler 2.5 V8 is an old design with a cast iron block & possibly even iron heads. They are big & heavy for a miniscule 2.5 litre engine. I'm also told that they are not a particularly good design. They are not a V6 either. The FJ & SR 2 litre engines would blow it out of the water with one plug removed.

The V6 Chev was a very popular swap a few years back & there's a half finished Chev LUV stepside pickup with one just up the road. These are an iron engine, so it would be a bit heavy, with [i think] a rear sump which would mess with the Datsun steering.

The Chrysler V6 [shortened 318 V8] would also be a bit big & heavy.

About the only upside to these two is that they are rear drive engines with a ton of go-fast stuff available.

Maybee the Mazda is worth a look. Take your tape measure & digital camera. Take LOTS of pictures.

no one said any thing about mounting one in a ute tray for a mid engined ute
