I'm a newbie, both to this site, and the world of datsuns. I've managed to pick up a 120y from my sister in law for next to nothing, and i'm interested to see what I can do with it. My first question concerns the engine, and I'm probably asking a question asked many times before.

Is the standard A12 engine worth working with, or should I ditch it for something like an A15?

I'll come back with more questions as I get to them.

Cheers.
