Default ls1 in a 74 Datsun b210

Anyone think a LS1 would fit in one of these?

you are just talking about the little 2 door car right?

ive seen one in a 210, but the bell on the water pump was pretty much at the grille of the car. he hadnt figured out what he was going to do with the radiator yet.

you would need to do some serious frame work to keep it from twisting into a pretzel

a supercharged 3.8 would be sweet, that was my original plan for the chevette i bought, but its just been sitting around here, when i bought it already had a 3.8 and 5 speed in it. i was just going to put the 3.8 internals into a RWD 3.8 block (they are diffrent) and then have a supercharged motor with a cam, pully and exhaust making close to 300 rwhp in a 1500 lb car
