There are many options but realistically small compact and light is best.
I like to look into an engine bay and see good old polished alloy with as little wiring as possible and old technology.

This is why the CA18DE is a good choice with LPG. Economy, power, clean design and 100 year old technology of the twin cam engine. It can be made to look old school by polishing its already available alloy cam cover and a datsun insignia easily adorn it. You can buy one for 120 dollars at Centre road wreckers, similar prices from import wreckers and appearing at normal wreckers and give it a freshen up.

You can run a dizzie but I would prefer to run distributorless ignition with an ignition only computer. A gas research lpg carb can replace the throttle body and the whole inlet manifold can be relieved of all the clutter including grinding the imperfections and polished.

Harry, Could you put a 66m L14 crank in an L18 block and then bore to 88mm for 1606cc? Iff possible the crank would be the hard thing to get but the L18 blocks are the same height as the L16 yet some seem to be able to handle the overbores better?
Also if possible later you could experiment with the Ka24e head for extra midrange the 3 valve head allows, Maybe starting with the Z18 block instead since it for racing and L series based.

I look forward to your racing project yet its such an unfair advantage lugging the 120ys extra weight.
A fair comparison would be the L vs the A in a same weight chassis. Of course the L running gear would make it all heavier but just for eliminating any discrepancies.
