Hi I'm new to this site and I have just purchase my first datsun 1200 fastback. I'm going to rebuild the engine and turbo it. I have a a12 in here now. Is there another engine I can put in the car without any major mods. Thank you

A14 OR A15 will go in with no major mods.where are u located.cheers

Thank you. Will it bolt right up to the tranny I have now or do I need another one. I'm in California.

Yes it will bolt up to the Datsun 1200 transmission.

But it will break with the larger engine turbocharged. Best to get a transmission for the A14/A15, in other words get engine & transmission pair.

where in cali are you located? i live in westminster, CA. also, it would be better to go with A14/15. the ammount of money you will spend modding the A12, it would be better to go to one one the larger ones

Thank you. That is very good to know. I don't want to spend extra money if I don't have to. I live in Hayward in the bay area. Now it's just a matter of locating a engine for sale

Does it matter what year the engine is?

you can buy a brand new A15 from nissan but the cam will need to be changed and this woul;d be a great engine to start of with ,and for a box i would go with a 60A and the standard box wont take the torque of an A14 or 15
