Found this picture of the U20 in the Nissan Engine Museum.

So that's what happened to my rebuild... I wonder if they'll let me come pick it up? "Of course it's mine... Hey, is that your phone ringing in the back room? Better go answer it... I'll be right here..." Zoink!

I'd love to! If you're buying, I'm flying. LOL!! That location makes it even more curious that they chose an SU engine rather than a solex engine.

Not only interesting about SU’s, it’s also a smog engine. Look at the fan, smog engines have it because of the 0 degrees at idle distributor.

If they put a Solex engine there someone would be tempted to steal it and send it to 'Merica to be sold!

Might also be the iconic 5-speed (for its time), looks to be the only motor with gearbox. Unfortunately, Greg, they called me and said my re-build was on display till I could pick it up.

I went to this museum about 10 years ago - its pretty neat. Lots of engine history crammed into a historical factory. Unfortunately the picture I took is of basically the same angle, but I did take one of the plaque too. I live a couple hours away from it now, I'll have to go back to see if its changed!

Interesting that the U20 looks like it's been used (Greg). The other engines look new/unused. Nissan must have had a hard time sourcing a new one. Greg, how much are you getting on the lease of it to Nissan?

Well see, that's the issue... they haven't paid me. And I've lost the paperwork... but I KNOW it's mine, I can just feel it... "Honest officer, look, it fits my car... he said I could take it... Hey, don't I hear a phone ringing in your patrol car...?" Zoink!

BTW, the "Zoink" sound you're hearing is the trans-dimensional worm hole shifting device one of my recently evaluated clients created. It looks like a bent spoon with a battery taped to it, but he said it worked...
