i know those engines very well, i have an a-14 in my cricket
but i'm looking for interchange info like "what head is the best for performand, what little part you can swap from what other car to gain h.p.
i went all through it before i got daisy, i used to autocross her.....(i was good too)
i've got a weber 32/36, big port head, 2" exhaust, elec. fan, elect fuel pump, hood scoop w/snorkel, a/c
NOW PLEASE DON'T GET PISSED.... i feel these engines are superior to the toyota "k" engine. every datsun "a" series car i have ever seen at the wrekers has always had far over 200,000 mi on it and usually the engine still runs well.
the common problems i have noted with the 3kc and some 4kc's is that they all seem to smoke, the timing chain rattles badly, and they burn valves like a bitch. i have also noticed a tendency for the blocks to crack between the rear two freeze plugs behind the starter.
both makes share head gasket problems if overheated.
you guys have different equipment, i.e. emissions, that kinda changes things...i ALMOST put an A15 in daisy.
did datsun ever inject these engines?
i love daisy, she is my daily driver and i wouldn't giver her up for the world.
but i need to get to work on cricket
