OgreZL24 Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 http://www.flickr.com/photos/90175897@N07/sets/72157632204490892/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/90175897@N07/sets/72157632204192292/ These were found in a hoard of Roadster, 510, Z car and other L series Datsun parts. An L-4 or maybe a Z series cranshaft, but which one...L16, L18, L20B, Z22, Z24 ? Dual SU manifold which appears to have the bolt pattern for Roadster 1600/R16 carburetors Anyone in Ratsunville have a guess? Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 The dual SU manifold is for/will fit a L16/18/20b. Quote Link to comment

ggzilla Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Do you mean L-series four banger? L4 is a generic term for any inline four cylinder engine. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inline-four Quote Link to comment
john510 Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Its not an L20b crankshaft Quote Link to comment

L4 is a generic term for any inline four cylinder engine. http://en.m.wikipedi...iki/Inline-four Thanks for the replies...it still doesn't clarify much, but it's more than I knew before. I was referring to a Datsun L-series four cylinder engine when I used that term ("L4"), to distinguish it from an R, U, A, J, CA or Z series motor. I didn't bother to open the Wikipedia link, but I thought "I-four" or "inline 4" was the generic way of denoting a four cylinder--to me, L4 has always meant an L-series Datsun 4 cylinder overhead cam motor which first appeared in the Datsun 510, as it's called in the US market. I know the manifold will fit an "L4" cylinder head, but I just wanted to know is it meant for 1600 Roadster SUs, or those smaller flattop SU carbs I've seen here & there on other Datsuns running non-US spec carburetion? My fault for taking a picture of the crank casting upside down, I thought it was M90, not O6W. If I'm correct, a Z22 crank will work in an L20B block? Quote Link to comment
Sealik Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 K14 manifold has larger ports, compared to the more common 220 intake I have 46mm SUs on my K14 ................................Z22 block also has 06W stamped on it...................... Quote Link to comment
