Big Schlink Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Looks like you got your answer. When do you think you are gonna be able to get those doors and tailgate to Trevor? Quote Link to comment

SHAMUS'WAGON Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 I'm running an A87 on the L16 in my goon. I was wondering what difference it actually makes. The head I took out was a closed port W53. It runs though that's all that matters to me. Quote Link to comment

The head I took out was a closed port W53. It runs though that's all that matters to me. According to the L-Series Head ID info on OldDatsuns.com, little to no difference. W53 is closed, A87 could be open or closed. Same int/exh valve dimensions. Pete Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 You can put any L-series head on it. But why you'd want to ... ? Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 L, Z ans KA have the same cylinder spacing and head bolt pattern so they will bolt on. Indeed why would you want to. Better would be a KA head on an L. Quote Link to comment
