Datsun 210 Wagon

[oly507]

1)  The vehicle in question is a early 1979 Datsun 210 wagon, model B310 series, according to the owners manual.  The engine is 1400cc.

2)  Is there a difference between a B210 and a 210?
 
3)  I am looking for a Strut Support, part # 54320-?????
     The ????? Refers to the exact model but I cannot find a site that gives
     it to me.

4)  Strut bearing, part # 54325-H1000
     Some sources say this number includes all B210 (120Y, 140Y 160Y)

5)  Looking for the Datsun/Nissan factory parts web site.

6)  Is there a 1.8L engine that will swap into my 210 with a minimum of
     effort?

Thanks in advance for any help I may receive to my questions

2/ Mostly body style is the difference, engine and drive train are similar with slight differences.

 

3/ Strut support? There is a strut mounting insulator (AKA the top hat) has three studs and nuts to secure to the underside of the strut tower #54320-W5000. #54320-W5000 supersedes to #54320-N8200  from Aprll '79 on, on the 210 and also the A10 HL510. #54320-N8200 is also used on all '80-'83 S110 200sx cars

 

4/ It does contain the strut bearing #54325-H1000. Which is also used on the B110, B210, 210, the A10 HL510 and the S110 200sx cars

 

6/ There is no 1.8 liter A series engine. The 210 did have an A15 (1.5 liter) engine option. There is an L18 engine of 1.8 liters but you said minimum effort. The L18 was only used in '73 and '74 vehicles so rare to find and parts for rebuilding it, you would need to weld in new frame mounts for the engine and transmission, needs an L series transmission, drive shaft shortened. If doing this get a larger L20B or KA engine and be done with it.
