Did you know that Datsun E1 and J engines were close copies of an Austin design from the 50s. Some people swap on performance parts allegedly.
I think an AC bracket from an early MGB will fit. It looks to be one piece with the thermostat housing/hose inlet thing.
Probably the lower pully from the MGB would fit, too.
I was fine with no AC, though.
Oh also I have seen ads in old magazines for superchargers that fit those Austin "B" series engines.
Just sayin...

[@kentuckyyankee]

First off, thanks for watching my live! Second, I'm sure you are right, I used a rocker shaft for an MG because they weren't available for a Datsun. If the engine has enough power for A/C, then I would like to have it. Gets hot around here in the summer. 😂

[@kentuckyyankee]

Idk if this old engine could hold up under boost. 😬
