510 is a L13
N510 is a L14
W,P,PL510 are L16
Their is also 510's like the JN510 but who wants a soild diff L14
powered 510??
I/m sure if they made L18 510's they would be in the bible that was
printed for the car.
I know the L18 510Coupe was for the jap market only and the one I have
seen is a 1971 model..
Some people say the H = coupe not the engine,we know we say K= coupe
what wee need is someone to look at the body tag of a L16 coupe to see
what the code is??
