After 36 years of running a Datsun A14 & trans in my Ser II it is time to go modern. After reading the threads by lobo1625, Msmoorenburg and Robertf on installing a 1.6 Miata motor & trans I have decided to do it. The Datsun running gear has been great and looked the part, but it's time for modern EFI, 5 speed and more power. I pick-up a 1.6 with 5 speed and all the stock wiring. I have the wiring done, and the motor sounds good. My plan is to get all the parts together and then install it this summer. My car is a daily driver, so I don't want it down for long. If anyone is thinking about doing this I have been documenting everything, including the wiring.
Here is the Datsun
The day I picked-up the 1.6
How it sits today, yes it starts up and runs on the sub frame.
