Congrats on being 20 and owning your own business! You sure that water pulley was chrome and not polished?

Keeping the L series? Fantastic idea!
If you ever get bored with it (I do miss mine), you can always install the SR20 turbs with the x-member you are buying.

Okay, so i have just order'd the new 44mm inlet and 38mm exhaust staino valves ($215 for the set posted). head goes in some time next week for a total service, pressure test etc.etc. $$$ :cry: but yeah, going all out on this motor so the heads very important.. it's already a ported head, gone the big valves with a 72deg cam, not overkill is it? haha.

My current stroker has 44 inlets with 38 exhausts and a decent port job. 68 Deg cam to work with the Stroke. originally I was going to build it up, but... plans changed. But thats a good option. With that cam, you may want a set of Webers or Dellortos to really push through the vacuum. I had twin SU's and even they struggled a bit. I'd aim for a 10.2 - 10.4 Comp ratio for the road and today's fuel choice too. Its not so much the valves you need to worry about also, but make sure the valve seats are stainless, as they'll get destroyed without the lead replacement fuel.
Like to know what else you're planning for the engine?

regardless. I was told to change the seats to SS anyway. Worth doing it right the first time.

Yeah, i was under the impression you don't have too, but SS are the better option, so i will have them put in. along with new guides etc. total rebuilt on the head. should be smick when it's done. i just havent had a chance to look at the ported head i've got, im hoping it's closed chamber. but i may be open... what's people's thoughts on open vs closed on a worked L20 with flat tops +1.5 O/S blueprinted blah bah blah etc etc. :)

Well, im back yet again.

Finally things have kind of gone my way in respects to the Datsun.

I now actually rent the old workshop next door to my current tyre service, perfect easy access, got all my tools next door (and a new excuse for tools from the Snap-On truck) and a 4 post hoist.. ;)

Now things are really kicking off, now when i say ..' kinda gone my way'.. its because atm i only have the shed next door for another 5 weeks tops! :/
There is alot i have to get done, because at best when i leave this shed i need to have it running/drivable at best! If not, finished and rego'd.

Got some pics for everyone to have a gander at the "toy shed" as i call it..

Just sticking with what i started with a few years ago.. :roll: :oops:
It will have the worked L20B bottom end 060" o/s pistons, balanced & blueprinted. ARP Bolts through out, an old ex-rally head ported and polished with new SS 44mm IN & 38mm EX valves and seats. With high performance valve springs (to match the 72deg wade cam) and a set of twin 40's (poor me cant afford the 45's for max potential :( ) exhaust blah blah blah you get the gist a worked L20 looking for 100 - 150hp.

Keep your eyes on this space as i will be asking questions and posting updates for the next few weeks! :)
