Oh great! So that’s good! Haha

It has the 4 bolt holes around the oil filter and yeah as far as I know this engine is running 10-1...11-1 its not stock it’s all done up!

LOL. Yeah ik it’s rare lol

The dip stick is on the exaust side, and I would post pics but I don’t know how! as far as I know this engine is 10-1 or 11-1

I have an L18 block which I just found out it has a W which is rare? I also have a W53 peanut head bored .040 over 272 cam and smimed due to decking the head I was wanting ideas on things I can add to make it cool or things that are nifty i also have a 40mm side draft,

so if its 29 Lbs i can shave it to 21 Lbs? but if it'd 21 Lbs don't do anything? when i took it off it felt pretty heavy haha ill weigh it tomorrow! its 10:30Pm here so ill check it in the am when i go into my shop! idk how to check if i have a counter weighted crank?

i was wanting also to ask i i haves a rustomieum thing that i brushed on that killed rust and turned black when rust was killed wanted to see what you guys thought on that? or any ideas you guys have on killing rust

yes i remember seeing it and i wrote it down and posted it but once again it is L18 490560 W that is what is displayed

is lightning the flywheel a good idea? i want to make this build as best as it can, as its out of the car i want to do this build right also i need bolt because i believe the head-bolts are torque to yield? and are one time use?

so what i have found out is the block is boared 40 over with flat top pistons out of a 280zx? the head was decked and the cam has spacers to raise it up the amount that was decked?.. and it has headers i want to paint the block and head also can you guys guid me in the right direction on if i should spay paint or powder coat it? the head is aluminum like you guys have said anyway to paint them? that won't fake and look bad? haha

what do u mean by fully counter weighted? and it is! took it all apart and took it to an engine shop and they said its bored 40 over with 280z flat top pistons and why move it? it has headers already and it was left in the same place

thanx! I'm new to building datsun and i don't really know what material they are made or anything, but id love to know! I'm starting to love this truck more and more with all your guys input

the Serial # is L18 490560 W its on the passenger side of the block on the top on the rear on the engine on a flat piece almost below where the ID of the head is

One big question iv been wondering is wanting to know what the engine i have is out of! does anyone have a good way to be able to help me find out what i actually have and am working with?

i believe my engine has flat piston out of a 280z? I'm going to take my crate to be looked over to make sure that everything is true, but id like to be able to know how to and which distributor is the way to go?
