Non-stock grill. We need a side view of the car.
But there is an easy HP improvement just by removing all the bends in the intake and exhaust system!
Unless the plan is to add a turbo?

It's quite hard to guess unless one knows the car very well.
I'd put 2c down on a early 70s Datsun (B110 Coupe). The only ones I know who had so much round from that time.

no turbo planned. I've spoken to my client about the exhaust... I hadn't seen the intake side before... but you are indeed correct.

While being in a competition type car... the engine was old and tired... and pretty dirty as well.....

I find it embarrassing that I've never heard of that type of car (I guess I don't know as much about Japanese cars as I thought), it looks cool though.

It's basically the very old version of the Nissan Sunny

The two door sedans were also sold here in Europe, or at least here in NL. I've only seen coupes IRL but I know Jan Manenschijn still owns a two door in his museum.
Brings up the question from my side: why the odd choice to swap a Toyota/Yamaha engine into a Nissan? Wouldn't a CA16DE have sufficed?

unsure... he may not have had one... or it may have been bigger, more difficult to fit... Or he come across a 4AGE and a T50 and went with it..... I do know he has a few moderately tired, or broken 4AGEs


and speaking about broken... he is one super luck S.O.B. this engine could have gone BOOM at any time with rod bearings this bad.......... notice bearings 2 and 3 are so worn... and in fact the bearing shell was so seriously distorted - it just popped/fell out of the rod cap upon disassembly.



My machinist believes those journals will polish up
