The only difference I could see is that the MB had the Star on the valve
cover and was designated as a rare Zundfogle engine where the datsun had
a plain valve cover. THe MB distributor said Bosch, where the Datsun
said Nippondenso. Once you took off the valve cover, everything looked
identical (except the plate on the distr.) I am sure the bore and
stroke were changed to make a 2.4 out of the 2.2 L M180. I think the 4
cyl pickup was 2.0L, so could have been identical to the M120.
I never tried to interchange any engine parts, but it appeared that the
whole valve train was interchangeable. I had a M120 in a parts car at
the same time I had the Datsun pickup.

I have heard stories about the Nissan Z cars having a pseudo-MB engine
in them but always wondered how true this was. Is there anything that
supports the claim?
Just curious, as I worked on a number of them and would find it
interesting to know that early in my life I was working on MB engines
and didn't even know it....
