Xnke Posted July 28, 2022 Report Share Posted July 28, 2022 Going through a lot of my old datto parts and inventorying before the sale. Came across this and it's not L-series stuff so I don't know for sure what it is; I suspect this is an A14 intake to suit 45DCOE's. Anyone here able to confirm that? The head in these photos is a 210 head for an L16, as you can see...it's NOT an L-series intake! Tiny little intake ports. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 28, 2022 Report Share Posted July 28, 2022 Oval port. Someone on here knows the head that it fits. Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted July 28, 2022 Report Share Posted July 28, 2022 GX head. Pretty rare. Quote Link to comment
KELMO Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 Pretty sure I have one of those intakes. The problem is you need to relocate the brake master to make it work as the intake interferes with the BMC. I have pics somewhere or maybe in the Kelmo's coupe thread. I'm just a bit too lazy to go look. I do have one of those oval port heads....on one of them 1200's. 1 Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 I don't know who put all this info down, but it's a great reference. And I'm sure it will be gone someday - http://datsun1200.com/modules/mediawiki/index.php?title=A-series_Cylinder_Heads#Large_Oval_Port 1 Quote Link to comment
Tom1200 Posted August 1, 2022 Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 Yeah that's an A-series manifold; it does look like it's for a GX head but you'd need to measure the port height to be 100% sure. 1 Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted August 1, 2022 Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 For years and years, there was a full tube chassis GT5 1200 sitting on a trailer around the corner from my first house in Pleasant Hill. No skin, but complete drivetrain including motor, with dual 44s on that manifold. Many times I tried to buy that car, but the owner never relented. Finally, a decade later, I find out that he sold it for pennies. That always kills me. Those intakes were rare, in the sense that not many people put duals on an A series, unless they were racing, and there weren't many GT spec A racers out there. Most of them were racing BMC stuff instead. Quote Link to comment
