That's not an L20B motor.

School me, Mike. What are the spotting features that tipped you off?

[datzenmike]

I downloaded some image scanning software and by using a reflection algorithm was able to read the very poor but legible L20B stamped into the block, reflected off the smooth plastic fuel filter.

 

To back this up I looked on the timing case and sure enough there is only one bolt at the top just above the distributor base instead of two.

 

 

For a '73, it could be an L16, but with a W53 head my bet is an L18.

[datzenmike]

Looks like a stripped parts truck but he's only selling the motor/tranny. The tranny is the same one as the 510/521. Unless it's a '74 model.

Wow! What's the name of this software and where can I download it? :rolleyes:

Hmmm, not sure what you mean. Guess I'll compare this pic with my L20b when I get home.

I was thinking that, too.

Mike nailed it :lol:

 

Now is it an L18 or an L16 :D

This is an L20B timing cover. It has two bolts one above the other, just to the left of the distributor base. There are two across the front on the other top side. This reflects the 2cm taller block height of the L20B. All L16/18 only have one bolt.

 

 

BTW: this is Keith Law's 250 rwhp turbo L20B motor.

[Mike Phillips]

Does it run?

 

I'm looking for a good running back-up engine in case my dies on me.

 

I'll actually be in San Diego with my 1974 Datsun Truck tomorrow

(As he crosses his fingers and hopes he makes it)

These are over size pulleys to reduce alternator and water pump wear. This engine is capable of extended time at 7,500-8,500 RPM. Most alternators turn almost double the crank speed. This 510 has a 4.625 rear and capable of 120 to 130 MPH.

If you want a pulley like Keith's you can call Andy at Specialty Engineering up here in BC and he will make you one. It won't be cheap though ....
