All A-series engines use the same Transmission Bellhousing Pattern. This means any rwd transmission, from B10 to B310, fits any A-series engine. No other Nissan engine shares this pattern. This means transmissions from Datsun 1600 or any other will not fit an A-series engine.

Overview

B110 used a dust cover

B210 used a rear engine plate

R

J/R

J-series and R-series engines used F4W63, length unknown. Bell pattern differs from L-series. Are J and R compatible?

L-Series

L-series bells are the same six-cylinder to four-cylinder

L-series will interchange with Z-series, but L has considerably more slant. Best to use the correct one.

KA has no slant

A-series has starter at about 8:00 O'Clock position 
L-series has starter at about 9:00 O'Clock position 

E/GA

E-series and GA-series bell patterns interchange. It is similar to the A-series and will bolt to an A12, but some of the bolts do NOT line up.

Z/VG/KA

These are all identical.

NOTE: L-series is same but slanted. 

CA

CA16 uses a smaller clutch & gearbox. 
CA18 & CA20 use a factory adapter plate & larger tranmission

SR is reportedly compatible with some minor differences.

GA is compatible with the CA bell (less adpater)

SR

QR

RB

RB lines up with some, but not all KA bolts. The top 3 bolts are in a different location. RB20 bellhousing on a KA block, the dowels line right up, and only 2 bolt holes need to be modified, one of them is extremely close.
