L series would be great for outright power and striaght lines in most cases but from our Datsun runs, i always see the Boof mobile way way ahead of the L series magic of the Pigdog mobile (when it was on 4 cyl

look datsun's have a good reputation for power/weight ratio...yes displacment is a major factor BUT so is weight!!! time,money and trouble wise the a15 is alot better option!...my suggestion is send a a15 to jts...3200 dollars later the thort of an l-series probley wont exsist!...is it really worth the trouble to go hunting for a few extra cubes when also weighting ur little car down?..
I think its time to get my L16 120Y project underway! it's going in for rust repairs tomorrow :) we'll sort out the L vs A series debate on the track - in the same class.
I'll be using the smallest capacity L block avail in Aus (L16 1595cc) to stay in the under 1600 class and using the heavier 120Y coupe body. If these lighter, oversize A series that apparently have better power/weight and handling can't beat that around a track, they'll have no excuses eh? hehe.
the 120Y goes to a mate's workshop for rust repairs tomorrow.
