why not a 2c-t or a 3c-t. a member here is selling a 3c-t in excellent condition.

turbo would be notorious best bet would be to get 7MGE but they are very rare and not available in Pakistan. This car originally came in petrol engines M series. Some people have thrown JZ motors in this particular model. 2C and 1C is famous swap cheap and economical.

3c-t is a very nice engine have experienced one with daihatsu charment (same car as corolla 82/ae70)

Okay sir but datsun's speedometer doesn't have gear indicators

Here's a glimpse of the first run
