	Oh yes! Now we're talking - Eddies your man for A12 (1171cc) tuning. There's quite a few 120Y's in the club that have been tuned. Even a bigger A14 1397cc lump in the car would be fine, I don't think there's that much weight difference. Have a look at www.datsun1200.com for inspiration This is the earlier B110 model, but look at the tuning potential! My 120A coupe has the same lump but mounted East-west/transversely. Janspeed did mental things in the seventies to these lumps too. Do it do it do it!

	You should have no problem making it fly, they're quite light cars, even lighter if you strip out the back seat, carpet, sound deadening and stick bucket fronts and a rollcage in in their place, so the engine won't have a lot to lug around, and it's apparently quite a tunable engine.
