davidbil Posted February 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 beautifl simply beautiful man so its getting an l20b? whats with the a series gaskets then? the A series is getting rebuilt for the moment and as a temporary measure until i can source a l20 so far im thinking use the automatic tailshaft with a stumpy and l20b engine im just not sure about the crossmembers but i was told to use the a10 stanza member or the struts and member from a 180b and find out the easiest way to fit it paint thats going on the coupe is going to be pepper grey metallic with black metallic grand touring stripes Quote Link to comment

bonvo Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 I Love the slot mags! And that is one sweet 120y! slot lookkinda funny with a positive offest if you ask me :P and yes if you get an engine crossmember out of an a10 stanza it becomes basicly bolt it from everything i have read Quote Link to comment
fisch Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Nice thread man and a super cool project. Thanks for sharing! Look forward to seeing that L20 in there! Quote Link to comment
davidbil Posted February 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 i would like to clarify the easiest way of putting the l20 into the 120y coupe the a10 stanza member? the 180b member + strut towers? the 200b mounts on the 120y member welded in? would A series brackets fit on the L series?

CharlieBucket Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Sweet project man, i have thought a bit about going L20b in my b210 gx. But i kinda like the a-series, and dogleg setup. Keep us updated on your progress. I think you will need the driveshaft from an automatic 610/710 also. {180b} Quote Link to comment

I have not done it, but I believe that your safest bet is the 180b crossmember and strut towers. This is what I have heard when I asked about it for a B210 years ago. Quote Link to comment

zerow Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 why would you need the strut towers? thats cutting up the doner car I think he means strut assemblies, not towers. So, to be more concise: 180B crossmember, control arms, and strut assemblies, as the mounts to the 180B crossmember are a little different... Quote Link to comment
davidbil Posted February 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 This is what i mean thats an l20b from what i can see the metal plate looks fabricated or something has been tacked under if the a series mounts dont fit the l series Quote Link to comment
zerow Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 This is what i mean thats an l20b from what i can see the metal plate looks fabricated or something has been tacked under if the a series mounts dont fit the l series I see what you're talking about - You need the crossmember from the 180B, as well as the metal motor mounts from the L-Series motor. Make sure you get them from the donor 180b, and you'll be solid. Quote Link to comment
