In the casting at the top of the engine block(where the engine block and head meet), right below the 3rd/4th spark plug, there should be a raised area with a number stamped there. It should be L16, L18, or L20b, next to a 6-digit number. The 6-digit number is the production number. That's the best way to figure out exactly what you have for an engine.

I think you should know what kind of motor you have before you start to modify it

get a su manifold

buying dual carbs and then tuning them cost's as much as doing a ka swap.

takes me 45mins to bolt my carbs on a L motor.

add more for modding the pedal to use a cable ,a day

yah i sold my 45 once i realized how much it would cost to really get them tuned right.

[foxarelly]

damn maybe ill go turbo!!!

[banzai510(hainz)]

Dave on here spent $700 to get his webers dcoes tuned and still was never perfect ,so I did get lucky,

 

if one can do it ,a KA or KA turbo car is the way to go.POWER reliablity is there also once done

 

For simplicity and fixability on the side of the road. L motor!!!!!
