Another engine which are still plentiful in supply today is the LD20 diesel having a similar crank to the L20Bs. I plan to build a hybrid KA20DE with an LD20 crank to come up with a 16-valve DOHC 2-litre with the desired crank type one day soon.yfchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13605712618763422551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191350299219976796.post-28454882371675177482014-12-03T18:20:22.613+08:002014-12-03T18:20:22.613+08:00Here, ten years ago you couldn't give L series...Here, ten years ago you couldn't give L series engines away but now they are very hard to find. I wish I had kept all of the engines I used to have stored! Now I only have three L series left, an L14, L16 and an L18E. The L18E came out of an imported Japanese market car... we never got L18E or L20B here in the UK.<br /><br />It might also be worth you looking for Z18 and Z20 engines. I once built myself an L20B using a Z20 block and L18 head.<br /><br />-EdUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07181052383984350192noreply@blogger.com
