i was thinking about a sleeper project for my 210 but everytime i do a search for a conversion i always find Z car V8 swaps! wheres the V8 Swap for the 210! or maybe a sr20det! i need it :( oh lemme try to send this picture i took of my 210 with my phone and upload it so u can see my $400 USD of fury!!

Instead of searching Google try searching our archives here with the searchbar to your left, the SR conversions are detailed to say the least.

I had a 79 210 just like it , white with 2 blue stripes . I put an E-16 in mine , it was a screamer.

man,,, there are tons and tons of different motor swaps you can do...it just maters how much money you want to put in to it...

i think the most "bang for your buck" is to do a ka swap,, it is preatty easy to do, too...

with going with a ka, there is alot of performance up grades you can do, too...

but like i said... the ka motors are super easy to find and are really cheap...

oh yea,,, i forgot...

i think that is super cool that you want build a sleeper..

no one will know what hit em...

yeah,put the ka24 in it.i've been told the 5 speed from the z24/ka24 navara (1 tonne commercial) is the shortest strongest variant of the f5w71 gearboxes.the 210 has a large enough tunnel to take this box,just get the
gearbox crossmember from a 210 auto,which should work with the gearbox.i know it bolts a
f5w63a box in like a stocker,without cutting a new hole for the gearstick.

yup..

or you can even use a five speed tranny from a 1981 z car ,, you just have to switch the bell housing, it seems like a pain but it is not too bad...and the gears will go great with a ka, it will bring out the most power, from the ka..

and that 5 speed is easy to find and cheep too.


let us know what you go with
