There is something I need to know...

I have a 1973 Datsun 620 and I will be doing an engine swap, but waiting till Friday to install my L20b is KILLING ME! I know, I know...I sound like a virgin asking about what sex feels like...but comon guys I wanna know.

Here is what I am puting in to replace my L16:





Regrind Comp Cam Vid....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...edded

L20B out of a 78 or 79 something.W58 closed chamber head with ported intakes and my BIG cam you all have heard run in my L16.Offenhauser dual port intake.Weber 32/36 tuned to rip (not save gas)

I am just curious what the power difference will be. Does anyone here run something similar? Can you tell me what to expect? In other words...will I be replacing rear tires every month.. What is an aproximate HP rating?

The suspense is driving me mad...

Hahaha...that explains the silence.

Keep your eyes on the ODPL classifieds for that KC. What do you drive now?

As far as the cam..it is a mystery cam I got out of a heavily modded head. You can hear it run in my L16 in the youtube vid I posted...that is as much as I know.

Dimes are hard to find in decent shape. What is an S30? Tomorrow is the big day...I am doing my swap.
