Hi Jay,
I suspect that the Offy engine HP and torque are way above what a Datsun 210
trans would hold for very long. I don't have any info on what the Sierra
trans will hold, but it came off a much larger engine and likely will be a
good candidate. I say that because it fits in the Spridgets. As for a
bellhousing for it, anything is possible. As I understand it, "All it takes
is money"!
One off's simply are expensive as you don't have the opportunity to write
the cost off on multiple sales.
FWIW, Paul A
