Is it getting a little chilly in here?

[flatcat19]

Just saying.

If it needs it I'll fix it.
That's no biggie.

Thank you. I may have something here for you.

Ima chargin my batteries. (1 charged, 1 nearly full, 1 empty charging)

And then its all, get some coffee, drive a twisty road in a car that doesnt handle, cut some shit, stuffing into plastic bags, and a return voyage to gather beer for tonight (can you say 10%?)

What? The a10 rad can and will cool a ka, fuck a canambox, its free to wire a ka in.
No way a ka weights 100# more than a 500# l series and trans.

The CanAm box is easier, faster and neater is all. Probably easier to trouble shoot if you have wiring problems too.

An A14 rad will cool a KA but not when driven to extremes. An A10 rad would be better but you really need some insurance against over heating. The KA is 20% larger and makes 50% more power than an L series.

L16 is 255 pounds
L20B about 15-20 pounds more. (Bigger crank and taller block)
KA24E (S13) is about 375 ish. (much bigger crank/rods/pistons, crank girdle, bigger block, monster intake/EFI, more valves and rocker arms)



Lots of extra structural metal casting around the back...





My KA head minus the cam sprocket is over 41 pounds. I shipped an L series head, seem to remember 37 pounds.


To be fair the KA from a D21 will be lighter than the S13 motor.

CA18DE... Now that is a light motor.

[flatcat19]

Lots of people really wan me to KA this thing.
Donations accepted through my pay pal or in the form of parts.

[DRIVEN]

Cliche. Don't do it.

[Laecaon]

Hey Keith, guess what? Front sump L pan in my possession.

my drill really made it cake. It got 21 of 22 pan bolts out.

[flatcat19]

Hole punched through?
And you got the pick up as well?

What do I owe ya?


That's fuckin' rad, Jacob.
Thank you!!!

[Laecaon]

I think there is a hole, maybe 1/4" has a rubber plug...
yes I got the pick up.

I walked out for 23.

[flatcat19]

[RedBanner]

Fuck yeah.

[flatcat19]

Now I just need to get the owner of the next Datsun to get his ass in gear!

Fat510(twerp) is giving me shit about the A10 and saying i won't be able to put a B210 together if I couldn't even do an A10.
No part of that is even right.

As it sits now-I believe I'm doing super with the parts pile.
Still needed:
get oil pan/pickup from Jacob.
5 speed
Driveline
Rear gear.
Wheels from B-Keeper.

Short list. When I get her home I'll be able to really nail down the to-do list.


Eagle...can you post pics of the instrument cluster from your SL 210?
I'm thinking the A10s cluster might just work properly.

[510freak]

Well first thing the body is better(more worthy)
The parts may be easier to source?
You have a strong passion for the 210 more so than the a10
All pluses

[flatcat19]

From what I see the body is way better.
Adam has been super straight about the 210.

The A10 turned out to have way more issues than anyone could have seen.
Hell-After taking the power train apart I am so surprised this thing even ran.

Smaller and better things on the horizon.

[510freak]

It sure looks good from the pics I have seen.
Its a solid one!

And
Get it done Keith.

[flatcat19]

Can't wait!!!


When I gave up the blue 521it was easy cuz it never was my truck. It was the builder's truck. I'm glad he bought it back.
I have been asked about the 210 also. "How can you own that if not the 521?"

Ha. I'm putting a new heart in it.
Putting the L will make that car what it is.

I really am getting giddy about this car.

[510freak]

I am excited for you too Keith.
When I first saw the pics Adam took, I was like ,now that is a sweet looking 210
Hurry up time,wait wut..well yeah in this case hurry up

[DRIVEN]

I was checking that thing out when I was at Adam's a couple weeks ago picking up my Tshirt. That's a fairly well optioned car. I had an '80 4dr that was the same color when I first got my license. Tough car to stand up to my 16 y/o hijinks. I frequently get semi-sentimental about it. I'll be living vicariously through you during this build...if it ever starts.

[flatcat19]

I'm not getting Eagle's car. I'm getting Banner's.
Eagle's has all the options, being an SL though.
Banner's I have been told is just a bit more solid.
