Hey guys, soon i'll be getting a l20b motor. Any suggestions on how to begin tweaking this motor?? I'd like to be doing at least 15 secs on the 1/4 when i'm finished modifying it.
Thanks.

How much do you want for the manifold?? I already have a pair of 1 1/2 inch SU's off a Jag and this may come in handy.
I'll have to do some more research on that cam.

Although this is considered old school, this is a really nice engine that runs really good and very strong. I think I can hook you up with side draft manifold if you want to go that way, I can put you onto the person that I think still has it. also I got a Z20 block with flat top pistons for sale if u interested. This works with your L20 head, if you combine the block with a L18 head, cams and side drafts you can make some good power. PM me if u are interested.

Those engines are really tough,you don't have to be seen by a mechanic every week fixing something.GA16 gave some good info,if you decide to go that way.There was an L18 in wallers a while ago that did 14secs or so,but thats was with alot of mods.
Update us on the project.

Thanks guys. Well right now the engine is being rebuilt. I got some flat top pistons for it and the head is being match ported with the manifold. I think i'll use the SU's I have right now and see how they run. Maybe later I'll see about getting a pair of webbers.
