I have install a 5 speed in my 1200 2 door sedan. What I did was this. When the engine was out, I got into the engine compartment and with a electric saw, cut the top half of the tranny mounts (the domes that stick out in the trans tunnel. Leaving only the bottom half on with the bolt holes and threads. This will clear the backup light hookups. Then using the cross member from the 5 speed, I trimmed it on both sides and fabbed some angle iron pieces. Drilled holes in the angle iron, bolted them to the care, lifted up the tranny until the trimmed cross member fit snug in the agle iron and welded it. Maybe a picture would be better. I'll get one on the web page soon.
I have a 1973 2 door sedan that I just installed a A14 with a 5 speed. I am using an electric fan out of a Datsun 310. The radiators are the same and with the engine side ways for the front wheel drive on the 310, the electric fan was needed. If you are using the radiator for an A14 Just pull the fan and it will mount right up to your radiator. If you are using the A12 radiator, it will probably be to big. Just pull the whole thing and with some fabbed brakets you can install the radiator and the fan. I had to trim the frame on the fan to clear the water pump pully but that is about it. I installed a variable thermo switch to the base of the battery stand and installed the temperature senser in the forward water jacket plug on the head. Keep in mind that this is an A14 head and the A12 has no plug. Set the temp to 190 degrees and it turns on just after the themostat starts to flow. Let me know if you need some pictures or more info.

I was at my local junk yard and saw a 710. Not sure on the motor size but wanted info on maybe installing it in my 1200 sedan. Will it fit and what modification would I have to make?
