Burly and Super-Clean Little Datsun

By Jen Dunnaway

Definitely check out Mike’s ‘77 Datsun B210. He’s bored the original 1397 cc engine out to over 1.6 L, and with a lot of innovation and custom machinework, he’s adapted components to it from a ton of different Japanese engines. He has tested the waters in a variety of different motorsports with the Datsun, including ice racing, hill climbing, and even a fuel economy competition for which Mike swapped a stock mileage-tuned 1397 cc motor back in. The car got over 61 mpg during that event! Read all about it on his ride page, and don’t forget to get an eyeful of that beautiful engine bay!
