The Nissan C-series was an inline-four automobile engine produced by Nissan from 1957 to 1964. It displaced and produced and. It was a pushrod engine and used single or dual-26 mm carburetors.
The C engine was derived from the Nissan 1H engine, itself being a licensed built version of the 1.5 BMC B-series engine that featured a bore and stroke. To create the C engine, Nissan under the advice of American engineer Donald Stone followed his suggestion of de-stroking the 1.5 engine from, with the resulting C1 engine being called the "Stone engine" in his honor. When it was later increased to 1.2 L via an increased stroke from, it was called the Nissan E engine.
The Nissan C engine would go on to be directly replaced by the Nissan A engine in the 1967 Nissan Sunny B10, whose 1-litre A10 unit shared the same displacement from the same bore and stroke as the C engine.
