The trouble I had with my a12 motor in my lj was the dodgy shit they did to the steering to make it fit.

Made the scary LJ steering even worse. The dropped evrything 4 inches and it just was out of wack something cruel

[Verm1n]

quite a popular conversion in Lj's it seems

[2stroker]

Yep we did a lot of them back before suzuki released the 1300 sierra (as parts for LJ's), 1litre sierras were still new cars and wreckers wanted top dollar for a 1Litre engine.

Lots of people ran 3k and 4k Corollas but I personally liked the Datsun A12GX or A14GX engines which were small light and produced good power, they fit in better than a 3K and were easy to keep cool.

The A14GX were 100hp engines (73kw) and with lots of people rallying Datsuns at the time performace bits were readily available 100kw was common.

I have seen a couple of old conversions with the steering box moved like TSAR mentioned and yes it was horrible, Sierra steering box or the Datsun 1200 steering box conversion was the only way to go.

My LJ has a ballanced A15GX bottom end with flat top Wisco pistons and a A14GX oval port head, 10:1 compression, twin side draft Hitachi's, Petronix ignition system, Crane cam and double valve springs. It goes pretty well.
