Hey list,
I'm agonizing over whether to stroke my R-16, or install a "breathed on"
LZ-22. Either way it's a complete rebuild, bore, polish and port head, etc.
I have some of the needed parts for R-16, and will use the 40mm Webers that I
have on either engine. I have quite a bit of experience with the Datsun L
motors. I had several 510's in the 1980's while I was working at a Datsun
dealership. I am looking at a cost vs. power and reliability, as well as
parts availability. In the favor of the L series motors is the ease and
relatively low cost of a 5 speed trans. Originality is not a big concern to
me, as I will be installing comp. suspension, Volvo brakes, etc. If I could
get some feedback, and experiences from list members I would really appreciate
it.
Thanks in advance.
