Upon disscussion of my planning to do an L28et swap... One of my local Z friends told me that a Z31 engine will just bolt into a 280z. I told him I've never heard that. I thought it would take motor mount mods, and not just "bolt in". Is this true?:cross-eye

I am trying to locate a master rebuild kit for my 76 280Z. Who do you guys typically get your kits from when you rebuild your engines? I did a quick search and didn't come up with much Thanks for the help -frozen

Ok I'm after a diesel crank but not right now as I'm still working things out with my new job and money is a bit scarce but I wanna know what the LD28 came in. I know it was found in the NIssan Patrol around 1980 I think but don't know what it looks like. Does anyone have an photo's of what these things look like, This is gonna be part of my L engine build up so would be good for future reference. Thanks

Well, my engine is all nice and clean, especially a 2 inch wide stripe the goes from between my head and block to the bottom of my engine (nice fresh oil) :dead: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!!!!!! I cant see pulling the head without having it rebuilt. Small block 350 is starting to look more and more appealing. :disappoin

Just an FYI for anyone who cares or may need to know Rebello Racing has moved from their long time location in Pacheco, CA . They are just now setting up the shop in the new location. Most everything seemed to be still in boxes today when I stopped by to begg some Woodruff keys for my L24 crankshaft (some idiot seems to have lost my original ones:cheeky: ) The new location is Rebello Racing 511 Wilbur Avenue #A5 Antioch, CA 94509 new phone is: 925-754-4871

I'm looking at doing some headwork to my L26 which has an E88 on it at the moment. I'm slowly educating my self on what is involved and how much it would cost. For the moment I am planning to stick with the L26 and my compression is ok so I assume the bottom end will hold out for a couple more years. I've been told that a mild cam, shaved head, bigger valves n springs, new seats, port n polish is what I should do. I still have'nt got any prices but I assume changing bigger valves would start to add up in cost. I read the N42 is a better designed head with bigger stock valves than the E88 and is commonly used on the L28. If this is true I think I would prefer tobuy a new c…

Posted this problem a while ago...75-280/n42 oil smokes on decelleration mode. All advice was to replace valve stem seals. Since that time I've contacted the original owner to verify milage. It is 191,000 not 91,000 as I was told upon purchase. Well anyway, I just finished replacing the valve stem seals... some improvement on short deceleration duration but on a long downhill, sure enough its smoke city behind me!!! Now what... rings?? some cylinders are marginal or is the PCV valve feeding oil?? I took it out, sprayed it with cleaner and it rattles. But in the FSM diagram, it shows a spring holding the valve ball to a seat. Is this a possib…

Well, I am all set to purchase a set of headers for my 280Z, however I noticed while browsing MSA, they do not have a set of headers which will fit into my car with my automatic transmission. Everything is for manual/standard trannies. Where can I get a set of coated headers for my Z with an automatic transmission?

Just got started assembling my engine today and got a most un-welcome surprise. I had purchased what I was told was a complete 3 piece set of the Reinforcement Brackets that came on Late L24 and L26 engines to help spread the clamping force of the individual oil pan bolts in order to minimize the possibility of oil leaks. Well, when I did a trial fit of these brackets it became apparent that I am missing one L shaped piece and instead have two of the other L shaped piece. In short what I have will not fit. Does anyone have a old engine (junk internally or whatever) that has the COMPLETE 3 piece set of these Reinforcement Brackets, and if you do.......would you be will…

I've got a stock L24 and tore the intakes apart to polish them. I've got them mostly back together and setup but I don't have anything from the hole facing the firewall on the rear intake (opposite the balance tube). Can someone check their manifold and tell me what screws into that side? Thanks
