Hi guys, my name is Scott Fischer, and I have a 1959 Datsun 1000 (aka L210)

(WOW I can't seem to figure out how to post photos with out making a mess! Will try to edit more.)

It is a rare little buggy, and I've learned a bit about it from this site, so thank you!

I wondered if anyone here has experience with the c-engine in my Datsun. It is based off of the British B-series 1500. But is a destroked version. (I learned that here!)

Engine shot:



What I am wondering is how close it is to the brit engine. Wondering if things like heads and manifolds will swap over? I'd like to get a bit more bang from the 37hp beast!

Do many things swap from british to datsun at all?

Here is a pic from the first day I got it:



There are 18 pages of info on this car here:

Also I am a moderator at Ratsun and the "Resident Ratsun Artist" because I draw Datsuns in my Spare time. (I am a professional illustrator.) Here are a few for you to see!:

Anyway a pleasure to be here and make an introduction. I've been here countless times and am glad to participate.
