The C engine was derived from the 1.5 L Nissan 1H (1489 cc) engine, itself a licence built version of the 1.5 BMC B-Series engine that featured a 73 mm bore x 89 mm stroke. To create the C engine, Nissan under the advice of American engineer Donald Stone (formerly of Willys-Overland) followed his suggestion of de-stroking the 1.5 engine from 89 mm to 59 mm, with the resulting C1 engine being called the "Stone engine" in his honor.[1][2] When it was later increased to 1.2 L via an increased stroke from 59 mm to 71mm, it was called the Nissan E engine.[3]

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 virtually the same displacement and same 73mm bore x 59mm stroke as the C engine.
