Yes its Errol.
Gordons car uses L14 rods. The rods are available in Japan but are getting rare every where.

Hi Errol? is it?
I think I have already asked you for a set your website is www.datrats.com.au isn't it?

I have heard Gordon Lovegrove's car is pretty quick and he's using a set of L14 rods sourced from you or at least that's my understanding.

I thought I'd ask around seeing as the last time I tried to source some rare L-series parts I found out later I could get it a bit cheaper.

I paid $870 for an LD28 crank through Stewart Wilkins but probably could have got one a fair bit cheaper from NZ

Not to worry, I know a few places in Japan offer the L14 spec rod and was considering getting a set from there but as i say just thought I'd weigh up some options.

I know they got the 140J in NZ and the UK and I've asked around there but as you can imagine L14 rods are somewhat rare and your asking price is/was by all means fair..

Anyway sorry to hijack the thread

A set of 6 L14 rods.

Hi guys I realise this is slightly off topic and sorry to be brief currently at work. I'm trying to locate a set of L14 rods for my stroker L31 I am wondering if anyone has any or knows where I can get them?

Cheers,

Gavin.

L14 good luck. I've only heard of a couple 510 guys who had L13's.

You should also start surfing some 510 boards and classifieds. You may find someone with one there?

Post a wanted ad in the classifieds here:

I'd start asking around at different local engine importers. That's going to be your only real option outside of importing one straight from Australia.

What tranny I need to go with? I assume the L16 4 speed from a 510.


If rules don't dictate a 4sdp, I'd say a late 70s truck 5spd. Good ratios, and not too big to fit in the tunnel. If you have to have a 4spd, yes any 510, 240Z, or early 70s truck will donate one.

None.

Nothing smaller than the L16 was ever officially imported into the US.
