Guest DatsuNoob Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Really need a head more than anything else. Need one in good working order. I think my dead one may have had something to do with my carb explosion. I'd like to upgrade from the stock one on my L20b, and gain a little compression. Whatcha got? How much? Link to comment
Guest DatsuNoob Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 I see 'em on CL, but am slightly skeptical on their quality. I am fairly confident that the people on this forum are true enthusiasts with the integrity to sell good parts and not peddle junk off on each other. If you could help me out, I'd be much obliged. Thanks. Link to comment

kiznook Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 theyre all over in j-yards down here. lots of 620s Link to comment
Guest DatsuNoob Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 budget's kinda low, c'mon man! I own a Datsun!:D Nah, but money is a little tight right now, but what do you think is a fair price for a good working head? I've seen 'em on CL for around $75-$100, but dont wanna buy something that's already broke or about to break. I'm trying to get this thing reliable enough to drive to and from Seattle everyday. Let me know what you think is fair, thanks Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 I have a W-58 open chamber from a '78 620. It has the water passages for the intake manifold but the cam, springs, rockers etc. are out, original valves are still in place. You could just swap your cam and valve train into it. I drove it to my place and ran fine when on the motor. As I said the valves are still in it with undisturbed valve seals. P/M me if interested. Understand money (mostly lack of it) mike Link to comment

banzai510(hainz) Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 H20 Im trying to think what cost 800$ for a L series head? I know Terri@Autosport is Good but Im trying to think what he did thats worth 800$ Link to comment
hang_510 Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 i have an A87 closed and open, all stock and complete $100 and $80, and a w58 $30. shipping has been around $25 for 1. i was at the JY yesterday and they want $75 for an L-head that i have to remove first! Link to comment
Guest DatsuNoob Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 May be interested in your closed chamber head. Let me see what I got to play with come payday. Link to comment
H20doctor Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 an 800.00 head consists of ... High lift cam, custom grind... Terry went deep into the valve chamber and polish out all the Burs in the valve stem area.. Match ported intake and exhaust... Racing nismo springs, stellite seats, the valves have a custom 3 angle grind...Lots of work on this head... My L20 produces 180 Hp... Not bad for a rice burner Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Ok H20 But I dont think DatsunNoob needs a head like that just to but a DGV on there and I know he cant afford the sidedrafts to really make that work. I too have a head that is Polished(match ported and Nitrated) 280z valves and cam but I was going to sell it for 200$ its a open chamber. Unknown grind big its maybe Too Big!!! nobody wants to buy it. But I am building a L20. Terri did my block at Autosport and I was going to send in my closed chamber head( 1.5 in put just do a basic valve job and install my nismo spring and retainers and I myself would put in a Webcamshaft 488 lift grind. What is your grind 180Hp im thinking Maybe at the crank right? Cause Jeff Hinos Sr20DET with more boost was only 185hp -200 at the wheels Link to comment
Bleach Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 My L20 produces 180 Hp... Not bad for a rice burner on a dyno or on paper? I've seen some seriously built 2.2L L-series engines put down about 135-150hp at the wheels. The stock L28 (z-car) engine claims 170hp at the crank. They generally put down 120-130whp if they are in really good tune. Link to comment
hang_510 Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 an 800.00 head consists of ... i was thinking about this...if you didnt search for rocker arms and paid $50 each + new cam & springs + valves + headwork would reach $800 pretty quick :eek: Link to comment
Cookapoop Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 If none of your options here work out. I have a W53 i'd sell or trade. I like trading! Link to comment
H20doctor Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 Why is 180 Hp so hard to believe...? Its stuffed with J E forged Pistons.. Bored out Big time to who knows..? and I had Little monsters Hot rods In marysville do the the Dyno a couple of years ago...re curved my dist to match the timing... cam is above 480... I even had malvern racing do some block work.... I have seen L18 make over 200hp on the track, with no nitrious or turbo"s , My crank was balanced at that dude in mukilteo perpetual Balance, and My flywheel is a 12lb Fidianza.... For get that srdet stuff and all that .. L20 B power Baby...! Link to comment
