Re: steves 310
I wouldn't bother with an L series conversion. it was a cunt of a job, and the end result wasn't worth it
IMO. If I were you I'd stick a CA18 into it. Stuff is so cheap now that it'd end up costing almost the same. And you'll get a better end result. Plus you could bolt a turbo on later on if you wanted.

yeh was a bit ae not alot of room in the 1200 engine bay firewall etc other than that easy, worth it for the end result, a good rally car.dirtyleppa wrote:was there much effort involved in putting one in your 1200 hayden?
agree with bart there. huge hp can be gained alot easier from a ca than an L engine. but an old L is still a legend!!!Bartman wrote:I wouldn't bother with an L series conversion. it was a cunt of a job, and the end result wasn't worth it
