vendinggirl23 Store Surprise Under the Hood ñ 1974 MG Midget runs and drives good! Gone is the famous old BMC A-Series motor, and in its place is one stamped with another familiar name: Nissan. The vehicle has been converted to a 1982 Datsun 210 drivetrain. The previous owner replaced the original Datsun engine with a Japanese import engine JDM specification A15. The casting numbers from the head bare this fact out. The car has the original Hitachi 2 barrel down draft carb, which bears a close resemblance to a Weber DGV unit. Behind the engine is the Datsun 210 F Series five speed transmissionÖIf you don't know about the Datsun/Nissan A14/A15 engines, they are very similar to the BMC A series engine. However, the Datsun units feature 5 main bearings and an aluminum head with 4 intake ports and 4 exhaust portsÖThe conversion in this appears to be rather well thought out, with an oil cooler added, and much of the original clutch and fuel feed circuits as original. The radiator is a recorded Midget unit with an electric fan. Other upgrades include suspension by Speedwell engineering and a roll bar. As a total package, then, this car seems like it might be a pretty cool little car to toss around on weekends. The engine swap will make for a significant hike in performance, and it will certainly be more reliable. This little MG seems to have been conservatively done, and will hopefully be enjoyed for some time.
