67Rolla-Ken Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Sounds close to my 5K build, but I used twin down drought Aisan carbies. I found the Datsun push rods were too long. Overcome this by getting some spacers made to go under my rocker assembly (I can't remember thickness but wasn't much). I also decided to ditch the Electronic dizzy, I heard something about the standard 5K elec dizzy being suited to vans not cars... but didn't really do much homework on that, just decided to go as lo-tech as possible :S Good luck, can't wait to get some updates!

philbey Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 *reground cam (camteck 33-64/72-32 , 277/284 degrees 0.345'' valve lift) peek power 8000+RPM'S!!!*SHIM OIL pump for faster oil movement and a ford z9 oil filter!!! *change too solid lifter with 4k rocket gear!!! (datsun 1200 push rods) :S *maybe abit of head work panding price tho and new valves and harder valve springes!!! *balanceing the motor new piston rings!!! *electronic dizzy!!! * and i also wanna get rid of the stock k fuel pump!!! (but i don't no where to start for that one) Some pointers after doing my build: - Don't bother with the solids right now if you want to save some $ time and effort. I didn't, have no problems, and don't have to gap tappets. - I ran a stock head, just rebuilt with new valve seats and that was plenty good. When I did a head gasket though, I got the engine guys to port match it, I wouldn't bother unless your running a non factory manifold. It's easy enough to get the head done at a later date, either get a second head then you can just swap. - If you're doing the rings, 160 bucks will net you a new set of pistons - go up in size, 40 or 60 thou over. Plus, there's a chance you might have to rebore it anyway, you won't know until you get the engine apart. - Balancing is the key to good revving. Do it. -Elec dizzy is worth the cash to avoid gapping points ever again. - Keep the stock K pump; unless of course you can give me a really good reason, I don't understand why you'd bother changing it. I use a lot more fuel with twin sidedrafts than your little weber will use and the mech pump does the job fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
