Need to Borrow KA and Trans

[Dominic49]

well looks like the stock motor isnt going to go back into the datsun.... sooooo I was wondering if anyone had a KA w/ trans I could borrow for a couple days just to check out some fitment issues and see if it is at all possible to put it in the Datsun B210.......

[suprabrit]

I'd help ya if I could...I had a sohc sittin over at my ex's old house, but it got bulldozed...looking back, I wish I would have moved it somewhere. Oh well.

Good luck!

you really need just an empty block, e or de. and an empty tranny. helps with mocking up and moving it around. find someone whose stripped one ot, like viperfag.

i need an empty block with oilpan and mounts... my biggest issue i think is the oil pan not fitting between the front subframe and sway bar.... but running no front swaybar can be an option :-P

[v-empire]

oil pan in an easy fix.
sway bars can also be moved or redesigned for a better steering response.

[Dominic49]

the sump for the oil pan in the A15 is in the center of the motor... steering is so harcore its not even rack and pinion :-D custom oil pan is outside of the budget...


goals of the project are gas milage around 30mpg highway. working AC. reliable Daily Driver for my mom.

seing as how the carburated A15 only put out 75crank HP asking it to also turn an AC compressor might hurt the little thing.

here is what i have to work with....

its tight. you shouldnt worry about the oil pan yet. see to the tunnel etc and motor leveling in there first. without the oil pan. an then work from there.

oil pan can be moded. and budget is almost free. all you need are cutting tools and a welder. and some matieral if any.

whats wrong with the old motor?

yes the steering crap do suck. i have that in my corolla as well. however all i need to do on my is to find and ae86 and swap it all out.

[Dominic49]

compression is in the low 60s and wont hold steady idle and stalls under power....

[v-empire]

you need NOS.

haha, i've said this in atleast 6 or 7 threads, yet nobody seems to want it.. Kevin (skanknastyS13) has a sohc and tranny sitting at his house that you can have. I think it's funny that he can't even give it away. You can use it for mock up, and then when you're done, do whatever the heck you want with it. The motor runs but I think it has a blown head gasket or something.

[Dominic49]

where is he located? I dont work monday so I could pick it up... BHG isnt an issue I just need to see how well it fits...

[v-empire]

thats why they are not baller. they cant handle NOS.

[Cash]

He's in athens, but the ka and transmission is at his parents house in gainesville. I work about 10 minutes from gainesville, so if you want to come get it and he's busy, just let me know and I'll go up there and help you get it all loaded up.

[Dominic49]

omg lol that was so hard to get in the durango lol but I got it... tell him thanksa bunch. it will be perfect for my purposes I just need a manual tranny to throw on the back of it...

[Cash]

you picked it up last night?? that's awesome! haha, i bet his dad was really happy to finally get that thing out of his driveway.

[flip]

Lemie know how the fitting goes. I'm interested to know how much work has to be done to get it in there.

[Dominic49]

now all i need is a manual trans to borrow...........


but yeah


basic things i can think of...


electric fuel pump
fuel return line
all electronics and guage cluster worked out
custom driveshaft ¿maybe?
radiator?
motor mounts
trans cross member
throttle linkage
