A lot, but still have the car to date.
The engine came out of a Datsun 1600and when put in the 1000it will go like a rocket.
It is being lowered with simmons mag wheels and painted in bright orange.
Howd ya get and L16 in 1000...i got one I wanna do it... but how...totally dif series...
Please answer that guy... or me because I think it would be nearly impossible to fit a 1600 in a 1000 coupe. I would be interested to know the secret though if it can be done...
I have a couple of 1000's and I suspect that an L16 would be too tall to fit in a 1000. The transverse leaf spring front suspension is basically an immovable object that restricts the choice of engine according to height.
I have one datsun 1000 and I wanna put a motor of 1600sss in my car can you ansner me eldiablostein@gmail.com,is that poss.?
It is impossible to fit an L series into a 1000 they are too tall. Plus you would have to cut out the fire wall and move it back about 4 inches.
L16 into a DAT 1K is not worth the hassle. Fit a A14/15 easy mod, lighter, revs harder! Add a turbo for instant fun.
Have fitted a L20 turbo to a DAT 1200 before, but wasn't that impressed with it for the amount of work I had to do to make it fit.
Have seen a FJ20 fitted to a 1000, but the guy had to change the front floor pan.
J1K.
