Z_Rac3r Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 I've got most of an L20b Datsun motor, disassembled. Fresh valve job, lots of headwork fresh out of the machine shop. Its a W58 head. All the work was done by E&L in Hood River. It needs a cam and cam towers, but I could throw in the ones from an L18. Also have the block, not even a lip on the cylinders, just hone it and its good to go. Comes with pistons in excellent shape, rods, the crank that just needs to be polished. Take everthing $300obo. Thanks for looking, Megan ~ 805-895-8462 https://post.craigslist.org/manage/1601246303/7ci4z 2 Link to comment

exit64 Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 No parts were harmed in the making of this picture. After the photo shoot they were returned to suspended animation in the proper orientation and coated with an approved rust inhibitor. The Ratsun Paramilitary Parts Squad can stand down and carry on with the next level of Grand Turismo...... Over and out. 1 Link to comment

pharouh Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Absolute horse shit!!! That's what I was wondering. never heard that before. :blink: Link to comment
Braden Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 seems like the crank would be more affected by gravity if it was standing on its end :blink: Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Assuming that it would sag from it's own weight, standing on end would bend it at the bottom most throw. If anything laying it down would spread the weight out evenly. Store it any way that is convenient. Same with the head. Link to comment
DISLEXICDIME Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 les retarded comment's and more buying megans part's!! :rolleyes: Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Megan do you know what that head/motor was out of and do you know if the head was dealer replaced or not? Link to comment
Z_Rac3r Posted February 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Megan do you know what that head/motor was out of and do you know if the head was dealer replaced or not? The head and block for the L20 I just got from the machine shop. Its a W58, I'm not sure what it was out of... aren't they all the same? The L18 is the stock motor from my 74 620. Which motor are you asking about? and what do you mean by dealer replaced? I don't know the story behind the head and L20 stuff. I doubt the head was ever pulled from the L18 motor, everything is completely original on it. I'll let it all go for $250obo! :) Link to comment

W-58s were used in them and all L20Bs after '78 but were all open chamber. I was thinking that if it was replaced under warranty by the dealer they may have used the peanut style. Anyone with a '78 or newer L20B that wants a peanut head should jump on this. The round exhaust port will match your manifold too. Link to comment
TrevDaddy Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 I'm seriously considering this. I thought that the W53 was more suited for my application (doesn't the 58 have decreased flow?), but all the work is done here and I'm guessing the cannon mani will fit well to these ports? I'd be really happy if you could do the W58 with towers for $185 shipped. Link to comment

The W-58 has a larger intake port than the W-53, otherwise valves are the same. The biggest difference is that the exhaust ports are round and they have steel liners in them. The liners are smoothly rounded and have little effect at normal speeds. One of the Z car heads runs with them and no-one complains. As I said, anyone that now has a W-58 head can move up to a peanut without having to change the exhaust manifold to a square port one. Link to comment
TrevDaddy Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 I'm going to be using a L16 mani, so that's why I'm asking. Did I hear right that round into square is doable, but square into round is bad for flow? Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Round head port into square exhaust manifold = OK. Link to comment

sick620 Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 WTF...i laughed so hard i started coughing is that the secret to sell fast on craigslist?? :huh: Link to comment
Z_Rac3r Posted February 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 The W-53 is the peanut head, NOT the W-58. as far as I know. I'll sell just the head for 150(+shipping if you need it shipped), its missing the cam, cam towers, and rockers, but you can pull whatever you want off the head on the L18 I just pulled out of the truck. I've also got an L20 resurfaced flywheel, 6 bolt. and a super clean oil pan ready for paint. no dings. Link to comment
