78 b210 gx..father son project

[fastdadd]

we bought this in aug 2010 so my son and i had something to do

[fastdadd]

then we lowered it

[fastdadd]

then due to life it sat for a few years then in 2014 we decided to get it on the road for his graduation

had to do brakes all rubber hoses water pump alternator and do something about the seats

there not in the best shape but we like them...came out of a 69 mgb gt



used the stock b210 eat sliders but had to make brackets to get them to fit and work correctly

[fastdadd]

we picked up a set of wheels at canby and put them on the back

[fastdadd]

he drove it everyday for about a year then bought something else

[fastdadd]

bought these at canby 2015

sand blasted them at test fit

[fastdadd]

then in feb 2016 i get a phone call saying he found the motor he wants for it





it was in a motel parking lot in east gresham

[fastdadd]

sat like this till a few weeks ago

[fastdadd]

this is where it is as of now



its just sitting in there waiting on the cross member to be flipped then we can get started on the motor and trans mounts

Yay, Everyone is doing motor swaps! Motor looks good in a A series engine room.

it looks right at home in there.we have plans to make it look like it might have been a factory install

There was a B210 GX hatch down at canby this last year with an SR20 installed. KA or SR, that thing is going to FLY.

Also that trans is worth a few bucks. Message me if you wanna sell it. I have some contact info with the MG guys and they are looking for one. They will pay some $$$$

[fastdadd]

the sr20 b210 belongs to nelson..it is our inspiration car........this car for some reason had a 4 speed in it

[Converted_to_datsun]

Any plans for the rear axle for the hp? Those axles are only rated to handle 112ftlbs of torque.

[fastdadd]

the b210 with the sr20 in it has the stock gx rear end and has handled a 4000rpm clutch dump more than once
so for now i am not going to worry about it

[Converted_to_datsun]

It's not the weakest axle they came with at least. This one has the h150... my 74 b210 has the h145 which is only rated to 100ftlbs. Awesome project tho, keep it up!

[DRIVEN]

My A15 even killed a couple H145s. Never had any problems with the H150.
