Sup everyone. I was working on my l16 a few days ago and suddenly it started running like shit. Opened it up and the intake valve on number 4 cyl got stuck and broke. Now its just stuck there. So now I figured y not swap. While looking for a ka to throw in, I came across this....

My question is whats the difficulty level on this? I have a rotary in my old 520 but I wanna change it up a bit. And for $500, I fugured id ask the ratsun gods here and see if its a good deal or what I nees to be looking out for. Here are some pics.

 

Any help is appreciated.....

CA18ET.

Not the most desirable-but doable.

 

If you want a KA, get one.

No need to fab for this,, then re do it all to go KA.

 

For now, I'd get the replacement parts for the L, or find a whole head at the salvage yard.

 

Single cam CA's aren't bad, but a worn KA will stomp all over that thing.

I was thinking that but thats y I asked here. Figured it was cheap for a reason. Im gonna look around for a valve to replace the broken one and work on getting me a ka. Its gonna be easier to find parts too.

It's cheap 'cuz it's taken apart.

It's taken apart for a reason.

 

And you don't want to be the one to find out why.
