Do z20 parts crossover to z18?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Hi guy and gals,

Thanks for the great help in the past.

Currently, I'm planning a major overhausl of my 1979.5, 720 Datsun, z18 pickup. Problem is, most of these came stock with a z20 engine, and I am having a real hard time finding any z18 parts. Wondering if z20 rebuild parts like valves, valve seals, valve springs, pistons, rings and bearings will crossover to the z18.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Best to all,

G2L

I can't be 100% sure on all of the parts, but the pistons and such for the block should all work.

Pezi,

Thanks for your in put. Am trying to dig up some z18 specs to compare them to the specs I found on the z20.

Do you or anyone else out there have a line on where I can find z18 specs?

Regards to all,

G2L
