Ok Guys I found a nice '78 B210 (120y), so now I am going for the engine. In a past thread someone told me that a GA series can fit on it. Here in my country I can found GA16DE easly, but people recommended me to put a traditional a15 on it. I prefer to install the GA engine cause it has fuel injection system and other obvius features over A series. Should I keep my idea or is better to install an A15 engine? And do I have to install a new gearbox in both cases?
Thanks!

I too would install a A15 as it would be less of a headache.
GA16DE's are very reliable and underrated motors. Only available in FWD (over here anyway), finding a gearbox and clearance dramas i reckon.

Go GA16DE if you want to turbo or don't plan on building a side draft A15.

They race them, make cams and turbo manifolds for them, and they're small and lightweight.

You'll need to run a distributorless ignition of course, but the real job will be to find a RWD bellhousing or meld the FWD bellhousing to a RWD 5spd or make an adapter plate.
