Re: Dope Status (Take 3)
There are numerous reasons for the small block swap, not least of all the fact that both the Chevy and Ford small blocks weigh less than that iron blocked boat anchor that came with these cars. And if you use the JTR method the engine sits lower and much further back than the stock inline 6.
Aside from JDM fanboi factor I can't think of any reason to keep the stock L Series inline 6.

And besides -- SBF/SBC's are so cliche, should have gone with an aweful non-breathing Rover setup

Re: Dope Status (Take 3)
Are you really knocking the stock Cobra heads while praising the Datsun engine? Not to state the obvious here but that Datsun has an awful non-cross flow head with both exhaust and intake ports on the same side. Sure it was state of the are, in the 1950s when Mercedes was still using it.
