If much of your misspent youth was in the company of those "funny little foreign cars," then this collection of humorous mementos will be familiar territory: "The Lighter Side of Motoring..."

"L-Series Engine Builder's Program"

Hi Guys,
Some time ago I wrote a program to help me mix and match Datsun L-series engine parts to come up different compression / displacement combinations. This program is useful if you ever wandered what compression ratio you would get if you swaped different heads on the same block, or bored the block or even decked the pistons.

The software runs under Windows 95/98/NT4 and requires less than a megabyte of disk space. If you'd like to use it, it's available from the Z Car Club of Sydney home page : http://infovfj.ozemail.com.au under the technical section.

The software is provided free and "as-is", and any feed back would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Walter Fath
