Isnt a L20 Block very very strong? Like stronger than most bottom blocks? With that said it should take an a87 head (L18?) pretty easy? Any ideas?

I would say not, you need a strong bottom end to do that. >3. will fit the bluebird ignition as I hear it is much better, are there >any possible problems with this?? Not that I know of... >4. the motor will be going into a 180B SSS, will it still fit without >modifying the bonnet as I am told the L20 block is taller?? I think it would, I've seen a L20B motor in a 120Y and it didn't need bonnet mods, plus the height difference should be minimal. > >5. will the standard 3spd auto (not my choice, my gf on ly has an auto >license) cope with this power increase?? It should handle it ok I think, a stall converter might be an idea to reduce power loss though. I wouldn't try it with serious power though. > >6. Lastly, thinking of twin dellortos or similar, just to have twins on it, >is this a bad choice?? If you want twins, I recomend you get some SUs, they alone give you more tourqe and more economical than others. > >can anyone think of any probs, or things I might miss?? Get a set of extractors and a sports exhaust, I recomend 2.25in, that is the cheapest hp increase you will ever get, plus it gives better fuel economy, actually there's nothing bad to be said about aftermarket extractors. I sure others will have somthing to add, Hoped that helped some, James Cox _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963 --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
