Are there obvious downsides to using one of these Z20's instead? If this has been covered, then please point me to the thread(s). The search function has yet to yield results. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 It will be a low mileage engine for an '80 A10 or HL510. Won't fit easily into anything else. It's basically an L20B engine block but with long rods and flattop pistons, with a Z series head on it. What are your plans???? Quote Link to comment
frankendat Posted November 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 Thanks for the response Datzenmike, I'm still searching for a engine for my LJ20. The Z series head is the 8 sparkplug? Too bad, the price is nice for a low mileage datsun engine with a warranty. I'd like to find a low mileage L20B with a warranty for that price. But, buying a stand alone engine is still the backup plan, first choice is finding a 1980 720 4wd. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 The E Bay post says 1980 and 4 plug head. Says needs intake and exhaust manifolds etc. etc. Read the ad. You would need a Z series transmission also and doubtful if it has a flywheel or a clutch. It's meant to slip right into an A10 that just needs an engine. Quote Link to comment
frankendat Posted November 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 Good eye datzenmike. It is hard to buy $3 dollar parts for $2 dollars :( Quote Link to comment
