WHAT ENGINE FOR MY 72 BLUEBIRD SEDAN POLL

[Leach]

What do you guys think?

 

I have the stock L14 in right now.

 

The FJ20 needs custom mounts, oil pan & pick up or flipped crossmember (id rather not reverse the cross member)

 

The NAPZ is basically a plug & play motor just use one truck mount and one 510 mount (the oilpan and pick up have already been swapped to 510)

 

I would have to buy an SR20DET buy a CAN-AM reay...etc (alot of money and hasle, and i dont want to reverse my crossmember)

If you already have the FJ, why not just use it?

Some have expressed since his car is stock with a L14, he should keep it. I say he should sell me the rods from it for $20. :cool:

That video doesn't show a good representation of how fast it is.

 

if the owner of that car is on here maybe they can create a better video.

FJ20 all the way

A high revving L14 would be cool... build it for like 12k rpm. Maybe make 100hp.

 

Otherwise FJ20.

the l14 is the original motor and im caught between leaving it completely original or swapping in the fj.

 

l14 is currently in it and running but missing/bogging at take of and certain rpm.(i cant give it full throttle) it needs an adjustment.

and the fj20 ive never seen it run but bought it off a good friend of mine that said it was running but running rough. he swapped in his l18 and it still ran rough, later to find out it was his coil.

 

the fj will need to be gone through, polished, cleaned, i would have to hide wiring, move battery to trunk, paint engine bay, fabricate motor mounts, radiator, fuel pump, fabricate oil pan (so i dont have to flip crossmember), fabricate heaaders...etc

 

 

 

what do you guys think is best, after all this is my daily driver. and with the fj it could be down for along time.

 

also napz 24 if i ever blow the motor or anything i can pick a new one up from junk yard for $200
