Z chopper Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 can anyone help me identify this engine? It is advertised as an 87 nissan engine from a rear wheel drive Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Closest I can find is an E16 Sentra motor for looks. (they had carbs till the end of the '87 model year) But the intake and exhaust seem to be on the wrong sides.Plus I think they were all FWD by then. Quote Link to comment
Farmer Joe Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 thats a mitsu engine.. probably a g54b... 2.6L, and from that valve cover it looks to be from an older model year... on the last pic, do you see that protrusion from the block right under the head, and in front of the exhaust manifold... thats where the engine code is stamped..

datzenmike Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Used in the Chrysler mini vans??? Quote Link to comment
Farmer Joe Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 i don't think in vans, but the d50, the arrow, the colt, starions, and probably some more i don't remember... i rebuilt one... the oil pumps are a bitch to prime. Quote Link to comment
DAT510 Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Looks like a Naps Z, but the intake and exhaust are on the wrong sides Quote Link to comment
lil89ram50 Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 those motors have some serious power. for a d50 anyways. but i guess i had a header, 38/38, balance shaft removed and i forgot what they were in the head, but i bought the deletes for them too... Quote Link to comment
Farmer Joe Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 yup, mitsubishi G54B. 2.6l torque was really good had hydraulic lifters. OHC.. had a lot of power with a weber. the one i rebuilt didn't have the balance shafts in it. it was an 87 model. that looks like an early 80s lat 70s model.. but definitely a mitsu engine...

Z chopper Posted November 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 I thiink the guy selling it thought it was a ka24 or napZ Quote Link to comment
Farmer Joe Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 did you actually buy this engine, or just looking? if you bought it, and it runs, id say find a 2wd tranny and make it work in what ya got... lol Quote Link to comment
