lumpy Forums Junkie Location: Adelaide, SA Registered: May 2002	Re: Now whats your favorite non-Toyota engine Thu, 17 July 2003 00:46 The Rolls Royce Merlin was in the Supermarine Spitfire plane and produced mighty Hp. I remeber also seeing one in a tractor (for the old tractor pull competition )when I was very young -I still remember the flames roaring out of the V12 exhaust(s). And the sound like nothing on earth.... But my favourite non-toyota enging would have to be the Datsun L-series motors in both 4 and 6 cyl configuration. I've owned a few and they have loads of character (and were some of the original fast jap cars). Also, piston rings aside they are built like a brick outhouse - I've seen an L18 with 300,000 Km's on the clock still have the factory hone marks in the bores. And still be the within the same tolerences as when made. It's just a shame the cars that carried them weren't so durable... [Updated on: Thu, 17 July 2003 00:47] [Report message to a moderator]
