the best swap 4 datsun 510


Recommended Posts

Hi dudes

I have two prepositions to change my 510¨s engine: I don´t have much money to do a ka24de (240 sx) swap, so a friend offers me two different kinds of engines, the first one is L20B and the other one is a 210 (I´m not sure what car it is). My friend tells me that I don´t need the gear box for the 210, and my doubt is if the 210 is strong enough in order to feel a difference, to feel a change in performance.

Both engines are repaired.

I need advise or suggestions because with the information you guys give me I´ll make my decision.

Thanks guys....

 

this is my 510

Nice 510....

 

 

NEVER EVER swap a 210 motor in a 510......... it would be alot of work,, , and it has NO horsepower

 

 

The L20B basically bolts in, and has way more horsepower than a 210 motor......... you will need to keep the stock 510 L16 oil pan, and oil pick-up tube,,,

because the L20 oil pan doesn't fit a 510

 

 

A 240sx KA24DE will be at least $3,000--$5,000 depending on how cheap the parts are,,, and how much welding you can do

i have a l20b in my 510, i have only got to drive it a hand full of times, and it was just a few laps around my side of town. But its a fun little engine.

L20 hands down. my naps z motor was ALOT of work to put in, and i imagine the 210's motor would be the same(at least the z24 is a torque'r, i doubt the 210 motor is very much of anything). A l20 all you should have to do is swap oilpans and the oil pickup tube...I would say it is a winner.
