Hey MiniMan what kind of engine is that in the Moke? Doesn't look like a Lotus TC?

Pete

I got the lotus head but it is attached to one of my Lotus's

any one ever heard of some sort of s datsun head going on an a series?
some old codga was rantin about it the other day and how it "makes it
go faster" lol

_________________

It's an urban myth that the A12 Datsun head fits an A series.
The pushrods and camshaft are all on the other side, for starters.
I'd really love to know how this one began... but it's been debunked many times here.

C'mon Doc, any respectable mechanic knows you've just gotta turn the head around, that's an easy one

i rekon it would have been covered a few times before...
good now i can go tell him he'z full of it lol
it just got me wonderin what im going to do with that datsun in the

all so just wondering... what do you do with the old cam in the mini motor when you put a twin cam hed on a mini block? im not that mechanicaly minded so correct me if i said something stupid just than lol

_________________

For mad matt's twinky conversion you just leave it in the engine --> the cam is needed to drive the oil pump.

You leave it in the motor to drive the oil pump and the dizzy.

ahh yes i see as it has a lobe am i right geez you would loose a bit
of power through the drive chain with a twin cam head like this

_________________

Everything that is driven from the crank will cost power. The cam, double valve springs, water pump, etc. all take power to run. But just try to run without them!
So the chain drive to a twin-cam head will lose a bit more power but that is nothing compared to the gain that you are getting from the twin cam head.
