  14. mazda 808 pistons.from a 323 mazda are the pistons that will fit well my friend wants to turbo or supercharge his clubman with a 1300 in it and im thinking they would be a fair bit stronger than old austin ones wouldnt you think ?
  15. yeah well ive often wonderd if parts of datsun A series motors would fit be nice if one of them alloy heads would bolt on clearly there diferent tho ill have a look around and see what i can find be handy thing to know cheaper than buying forgies etc.
