HI GUYS JUST WONDERING IF ANYONE COULD TELL ME WETHER A L18 WOULD FIT INTO MY DATSUN1500? PLEASE ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
CHEERS.

datsun 1500, as in the utes?

pretty sure ive seen one or 2 with L series in them before

yeah i thought so. i just need to know if it can be done without making massive mods(cutting firewall and the such)

no firewall cutting needed all is piss easy take the old j15 out and the L series in...from memory you may need to modify the engine mounts is all

how hard would it be to modify the engine mounts.?

my ute came with it so i dunno so heres a link of my build though it is in yahoo i do have a photobucket account too

yahoo 620 build
photobucket

i can get more pic if needed but will have to do them tomorrow, hope this helps

hey, how do you find your motor goes, my j15 is really tired and crap with oil leaks and the norm. and the l18 i found is in tip top shape . is this a good choice to drop into my ute. i have only recently made the move from v8's to my ute and dont have alot of knowledge. Also i am in perth just wondering if there was any clubs/crusie's here?

you should check the garage runs in the meetings part of the forums, the L18's are good and great for modding, mine is an L20b stroked and hotted and goes really well. When i got it it had an L18 and it was very tired....running 20psi in every piston but still ran!

i checked out your photo's. wow that came a long way! also looked at the one of your engine bay without the motor in. but couldnt really see anything to helpful. do you know of any other people who have made the conversion themselves? cheers for helping out.

thats ok there is a few on ozdat at the moment building theres but i am pretty sure they just fit in with no hassles
