78 b210 radiator question

[yoke_a_b210]

so just got a weber and radiator was next to complete my rebuild and then it will be done but a radiator shop tried rebuilding my stock one and said its a lost cause so i looked around for replacements, came up empty, so i was wondering if there was like a way a 510, or any other datsun radiator would mount up with a little custom fitment i looked around but couldnt find a good general answer, and help is much appreciated to get this datsun back on the streets.

I got a new one from Baxter's a couple years ago. It was less than $100 too. Might give them a try.

i checked them out and no luck for a b210 maybe i wasn't looking hard enough

i put in my old corvette radiator in there to cool my new engine. there's a lot of radiators that will fit if you dont mind doin a little massanging. i was first going to put in a vw sciorroco radiator but i wanted more cooling power.

Datsun B310 radiators will bolt right in, and some are larger. That's 1979-1982 models "Datsun 210".

 

Or if you want to pay the big bucks for a new alumninum radiator, here's the popular swap: vw radiator swap

My Datsun guru has taken to putting Civic radiator/fan assemblys in Datsun roadsters. They fit right in apparently. Probably has a few things to do, but I would assume the B210 core support is deeper than the 510? Probably more radiator options. 510 is so damn short.

Yes, B210 can fit dozens of different radiator, different makes and models. Guys put Ford, GM, Toyata and other radiators in them.

 

But the stock (small) B210 radiator is fine for mildly hopped-up B210 engines.

thanks for all the input i went to pull a part today and got a 1979 toyota celica liftback radiator looks and fit in like a glove but the radiator hosing was on the opposite side and the only way it would fit is if i cut the hose's in piece's and used metal in between to somehow wrap it under and around my fan so i said fuck it ill head back there and look for some others.

Try calling pull-a-part Arlington. In october, they had four 210s and one B210. I recall at least two had radiators in them.

 

They seem to have more than the Lynnwood pull-a-part.
