trying to find some general info on the L6 engines for a swap

[tweak180sx]

Hello all,

Im trying to find what the physical size of the L6 engines are (front to rear and from the of the head to the bottom of the block and oil pan). I have a 92 S13 (240sx) and am thinking about doing an L series swap. I saw one while in Japan and it ran quite nice, and Ive been wanting to get an old Z for quite some time now, but would also really like to see how the engine would do in teh S13 body. I am mainly trying to see if I will have to do any work on the firewall or custom engine mounts to make it fit. I have seen RB20DETs and RB26s put into S13s before so I am hoping that an L26 or L28 would fit.

Also was the na L28 carbd or EFI. I would prefer a Carbed engine, especially the L28 with some work done on it. I am also curious about the Z432, I noticed it is a DOHC but that is the only info I can find. How difficult is it to sort one of those heads? Thanks for any info. Hopefully I will be on the board more if I can get this project started.

I fail to see a reason why you'd WANT to swap the engines of these two cars...

yeah...what he said

It would cost an ungodly amount of money to retofit your car. Z cars are a little bit easier to update to a newer engine but the other way around is probably something you need to reconsider.
