79210 Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 hey i have a 79 210 notchback it currently has an l20b swap with a dogleg 5-speed i bought the car already swapped and it seems like everything done to my car previously was done wrong anyways my first question is how do i get my engine sitting right i was told before that a 69-72 510 crossmember would be the best way to go i was also wondering about an sr20 swap if i put the 510 crossmember in my car could i use a 510 sr swap kit this is my first car and the only time its ever moved was when i put it on the trailer and when i push it around my schools shop to do some fabrication as you can guess im tired of pushing my car and listening to my brothers honda garbage any help would be greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 We're all tired of listening to Honduh garbage. OIC's? Some yearn for an L20B in their 210's. Does it run? Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Actually, i thought it was the later 510 crossmember that you want. This has been covered a few times lol. Keep searching the site or use google to search this site. Datzenmike knows this info Quote Link to comment

Keep searching the site or use google to search this site. Datzenmike knows this info I think the 78-79 510's came with L20B. But I'm wrong. 610's? Someone correct me. Mike? I'd be piss-stoked to have an L-powered B310. Quote Link to comment
king bee66 Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 ive never heard about a 510 cross member being used for this swap, only 610. Quote Link to comment
Pumpkn210 Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 The late model 510/B310 front chassis are the same! Use the mounts for a late model L20 510 and you are golden! Quote Link to comment

Which makes me right about being wrong about what I originally had right. 1 Quote Link to comment
79210 Posted May 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Thanks for the help it doesn't run now because the wiring harness was hacked apart in like four places so nothing is wired up and i was told that my engine didn't sit with the right level of tilt so I haven't tried to start it btw what kind of tilt does my engine need and if anyone knows about hondas will I be able to beat an h22 swapped cb7 accord Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 i was told that my engine didn't sit with the right level of tilt so I haven't tried to start it btw what kind of tilt does my engine need About 12-15 degrees to the passenger side. Stare at this pic for awhile. And if you have the "correct" oil pan for your car, look at the bottom of it. If it's not level with the crossmember on both side, it's not sitting right. ;) and if anyone knows about hondas will I be able to beat an h22 swapped cb7 accord With an L-series? No. With an SR20DET? Yes. :P FWIW, a stock L-series in a 210 is not going to outrun a stock CB7. Those things are surprisingly quick. Quote Link to comment

Makes you look foolish. Quote Link to comment

Those things are surprisingly quick. And to address the silly question further... :P A KA24E would be an easier/cheaper swap and be just about all the power that little thing can handle. And it would handily outrun almost any non-turbo CB7. Would you rather have 165 ft.lb of torque in a 2300 pound car (KA24E 210) or 150 ft.lb of torque in a 2800 pound car (H22 CB7)?

datsunfreak Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 I'd be scared of a KA-powered 210 that somehow got down to 1900 pounds. :blink: And I was counting driver weight too. So unless you 210 is remote control, it weighs well over 1900 pounds on the road. ;) Quote Link to comment
Pumpkn210 Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 My 210 with a half tank of gas, 100lbs of tool box and no driver is 900lbs front 800lbs rear, total cereal! You gotta remember the 210 is a hole different car from the heavy narrow leaf spring B210 it was born from... Shit mang, mine was 1950lbs with a full interior and bumpers! :lol: Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Shit mang, mine was 1950lbs with a full interior and bumpers! :lol: And an A-series. Which is 150+ pounds lighter than a KA. ;) Matters not, really. Still way lighter than a CB7 Accord, with any Nissan engine. :cool: Quote Link to comment
