whats the best engine to put into my datsun 180b?

Question

looking for performance but good on fuel as a everyday car and im not putting a turbo in it, ive been told sr 20 also gear box aswell

Answer 1

There was also a 2.4 liter diesel motor that would put along nicely too. I guess you like classic boxy cars from the early 80's. There are so many cars that have actually been crash tested and have airbags better fuel economy and drive better. My best recommendation is buy something that is from this Century or go out and see what other manufacture are doing the Honda Civic SI makes 240 HP and revs to 9,000 rpm's. The Current crop of "B" cars Toyota Yarus Nissan Titida Versa and Honda Fit. All will run circles around the 180b in mileage safety and handling.
