Re: 180hp L18 rally motor! Is it possible? Cheap!

[Williams, Ritchie (Vertex Hamilton)]

Chris,

There are actually two books that are really good.

1. How to Modify Your Nissan/Datsun Ohc Engine by Frank Honsowetz

2. How to Hotrod and Race in Your Datsun by Bob Waar

Both of these are available from www.amazon.com and are excellent.

I have two copies of the  How to Hotrod and Race in Your Datsun, An original &
a reprint & have found them invaluable for my rally car.
