Thanks everyone for the posts.

My van "Victoria" is a 1950 Morris J Van.

Yes, the Nissan A-series is a standard conversion for the early van which used a flathead.

The Australian NRMA J is very well know.

Awesome Van. Good luck with it. Have you seen a picture of the Australian NRMA J Van?

fantastic, the rarer the better to restore, great work.

All the parts are available. A14 engines were still in production as of 2007.

* Nissan auto dealer has most of the parts, but for new block and head, you may need to go to Nissan forklift dealer.

* In USA, most auto parts store can get most A14 engine parts. For example, Schuck's in Washington State: Schuck's/Oreilly Auto. Search for 1980 Nissan 210, they came with A14 engine.

That wouldn't happen to be a Morris Victoria would it? I've never seen one. Several Datsun1200 club members have put A14s in Morris Minor vans and pickups.

Everyone,

I live in Vancouver Canada and last weekend I bought an A14 engine and tranny from a B210. The egine runs good, and it has only 93,000 KM on it.

I am going to install it in my project van, which can be seen here: http://www.victoriajvan.blogspot.com/

The only parts that are available for it here are the water pump. Are there parts generally available elsewhere and are there any reasources online for buying such thinking as fuel pump, alternator, starter etc?
