The mailing lists should be working again as you've probably noticed
over the last day or so.  The mailman pages at
http://www.team.net/mailman/listinfo also seem to be working better.

Still having issues with the forums, though now the error messages
are different.  I guess that's progress ;-)  And there are some
issues with the archives getting rebuilt.  What fun when switching
to all sorts of new software version, updated operating system, new
hardware ....

If you do have troubles with your subscriptions and the web interface
let me know, I'll work on getting things resolved.  Right now I think I'll
watch some cooking videos to relax before I head off to bed.

Message-ID: <108a4.a8b99f3.3c7e3da8@aol.com>

wondering if anyone did a conversion with the 510 1600 overhead cam  
engine?  Used to own a 510 and put a BRE race prepared head on the  motor.  It was 
slow to 3000 RPM then took off like a shot.  
 
Any thoughts on this conversion for a 1964?

I remember seeing a Roadster with an L-4 at Shasta in the late '90s. Not
sure how it ran, but I remember they had to use a scoop to clear the cam
cover. Not sure I'd even consider an L-4/Roadster swap these days for
several reasons. Both the KA24 and SR20 swaps offer more cubes and are
fairly well supported by several vendors, AFAIK. The only L-4 swap that I'd
consider would be the L-20b which is 3/4 taller than either the L-16 or
L-18 so hood clearance would be more of an issue. These days it's hard to
find L-16s, even harder to find L-18s and the supply of L-20b is drying up,
too.

If I were to do a swap into my '70 2000, it would almost certainly be the
SR-20. By the time you pay to go through a U-20, get the SUs and the trans
rebuilt, you can pretty much pay for the SR20 swap then sell the U-20 and
trans you take out.

All that said, I have a couple of things to do to the Roadster and I should
have it on the market by the end of March. I'm just starting on an L-20b to
go in my '73 510, which is a LOT easier to get in and out of on my 65 year
old body, and more practical for occasional use in Texas weather.

If anyone is looking for an L16 for a project of some kind, I have one I'd
part with. Came out of my '70 PL521, has L18 valves and hotter-than-stock cam,
needs ring job.

Contact me off list if you're interested.

The reason that guy at Shasta had the raised hood scoop was because he ran
into the issue of the external oil pump on the L-series interfering with the
front crossmember. He chose to raise the engine. Other people who tried this
swap chose to notch the crossmember.

One of our (NWDE's) former members notched the crossmember and boxed in the
opening, forgetting that the steering linkage had to have room to move in
that space. Oops!

I agree with Ron. If you're going to do an engine swap, the SR20 is a more
"natural" choice.

Depends on where you live, Jim.

Northeastern states are not yet thinking topless cars and sport driving.

Sort of like selling a boat - seasonal buyers.

Plus, yes, those on this list more closely resemble family prices /
wholesale, not what you might draw on the outside.

Message-ID: <4F4D9F67.4040500@centurytel.net>

     Hello, I'm trying to determine what the actual diameter is of the 
rear expansion plug that is located behind the cam of a late model r-16. 
I have a couple engines that have different size plugs in the back of 
them, one has a 44mm(1.732") and the other a 1.750" plug. I've seen a 
discussion of it being 44.425mm which is 1.749" so it could have meant 
to be 1.750". To me .018"is a pretty good difference from the 44mm plug 
to the 1.750" plug, or at least when it comes to engine parts it is. 
Even a 1-47/64 plug would be .002" tighter than the 44mm, so I'm hoping 
to get some feedback on what size plug other owners or rebuilders have 
used.. any input would be very much appreciated... Bill Cole

It should not be a problem to install an L16 or L18 into a 64 
roadster.  I installed an L-18 in a '69 car somewhere around 1980.  I 
made kits to install L series engines in roadsters for many 
years.  It is possible to install these engines using the original 
rubber mounts in their original locations.  The only modification to 
the car that was required was a pocket in the front crossmember that 
could be made with a large pall pein hammer to avoid oil pump 
interference.  There was no interference with any steering 
component.  The L engine was mounted at the correct angle so that SSS 
S-U carb setups had the float bowls level.  For some reason the L20B 
didn't seem to clear the hood on a 65-67 roadster?

Four cylinder L series are not plentiful at this time.

I quit making the kits several years ago.

I think our club member cut too big a hole in the crossmember, and box he built blocked the movement of the steering arm. 

The L20B block is 3/4" taller than the L16/L18, if I remember the numbers correctly.

It should not be a problem to install an L16 or L18 into a 64 
roadster. I installed an L-18 in a '69 car somewhere around 1980. I 
made kits to install L series engines in roadsters for many 
years. It is possible to install these engines using the original 
rubber mounts in their original locations. The only modification to 
the car that was required was a pocket in the front crossmember that 
could be made with a large pall pein hammer to avoid oil pump 
interference. There was no interference with any steering 
component. The L engine was mounted at the correct angle so that SSS 
S-U carb setups had the float bowls level. For some reason the L20B 
didn't seem to clear the hood on a 65-67 roadster?

I used one of Stan's Kit back in the early 90's to convert my 70 1600 to a
L-Series engine. The kit was just fine.

However, the issue I ran into was that the L20B engine that I chose was to
tall. Later I found out the kit was designed for the L16/18 which was about
3/4 shorter. With some additional modifications, I was able to fit the L20B
under the hood.

Always appreciated Stan & Dave P.  for supplying me with the kit.

Hopefully when I get the current crop of Team.Net problems
resolved I can spend some time on better filtering of incoming
mail.  It would be nice to be able to at least not have hijacked
mail sent out to the lists.
