I have a 1989 Toyota Camry that is wrecked. I want to put the Camry engine in a 1980 Datsun 210B. I am not sure if the motor mounts and stuff will line up. I am also planning to take the transmission from the camry and install it in the Datsun. I can't find a diagram of the mounts, etc. Any ideas?

well if you are looking for a straight swap it will not happen
you will need to change motor mounts and possibly crossmembers i would recomend puting an ad it the paper or on craigslist.org for trade for the corect motor

Dude, unless you have a garage equipped with everything you need to retro-fit another engine and trans into your Datsun, (not to mention the crew from American Hot-Rods) you would be better off building-up the Datsun engine and trans. I actually saw a 240Z transplant in a 210 years ago but it also was a major undertaking.

Don't think the mounts will line up, You also have to check the wiring harness. Go to google.com you can find anything there

Without major retro fitting this swap will not work.
Sorry
