These are some pic's of the recent engine that was installed into the 85 gsl. Its a 12a bridgeport, machined carburator venturies and drilled jets. There is also a FC front mount oil cooler being installed very soon. I was also given a sheet of expanded mesh that i'm going to do a one off custom grille. I also have my white face guages installed already as you can see from one of the last pics.

sweet! good luck with it.

I got a 12A project that i need to finish one of these days too.

Cool.

Thats a pretty eye-catching engine bay. I like it.



Shannon finish the FD first ass-hat.

thats turned out really nice!

When my wife drives it she doesn't need a 500hp 13bt. I will build that engine when i get my FD

Lookin' mighty fine....

thanks for the good replies guys. I'm taking it out for the first time in 2 months. I need more kilometers on her, right now its only got 500km since the rebuild and port job.

That is a very clean engine bay. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/bigthumb.gif

Looks really nice. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png I hope your planning on re tuning the carb.

looking pretty good there, man.

Question: Where did you get those white gauge faces from? Is it possible to buy them from a shop? Or do you have to have them on special order? By the way, 12-As are better blocks to work on in my opinion. They're the "Loud 'n Proud" of rotaries.

i bought the guages on ebay for $1.00 shipping was 15. The factory modded nikki is gone in favor of a 48IDA weber carb. Also the half bridge i built is comming back out this fall i have my new 12A irons so the full bridgeport work begins. I have hopes of 200 rwhp now I'll post pics of it as i complete the work. the engine will be blue this time since the car is being painted 350z pearl blue.

heres a pic of the guages lite up.

I have the same gauges, mine are starting to peel apart but they look damn good at night still.
