thanks bryan! i should be down around easter time. i dont think the z will be with me.. u joints... it may be a while till i get under there to check em out. kinda feel like if im gong to do stuff to it i shoukd just go ahead and do it all. im detail oriented to fault. (other then grammer) just kindsa new to cars. lately i have been devouring books and info on my z and reto work. murphys law is also strongly out for me. i cant wait for my drive to La Grande, via leweston, enterprise, wallowa. i really want the car to be in good shape for that before i take on my rust and paint. have fun and thanks!

but ours are running ! I couldent resist.

rubbin it in eh? thats cool. i'll be rollin sooner than later....i hope. she still purrs like a cougar!

No, I think that was a dig at me. Beandip wouldn't do that to you unless he knew you. Be glad he doesn't, you may want to keep it that way.

Actually, he is a good friend. For a crusty codger!

Yeah, Bryan. Even my yellow car runs...

you guys sound rowdy eh? i like that. just hard to read sarcasim ya know. fyi... i got a p79 head on a L28 #610125 block. Thanks to ya for the help with that. sounds like i can now better follow the advise on headers. the current manifold is looking a little "redish" if you know what i mean. i'm sure you do....:laugh: i'm kinda new to this....even the computer part, and i really appriciate the help and tolerence for igno-ramous sounding newbees like me! hats off to ya! drive well!

Back on topic, now. Nothing wrong with a P79 head, that's what Gary (beandip) has on his L28. It has a good chamber shape, but needs flat top pistons to have even normal compression. I'm willing to bet that it is the original head for your L28 block. The block casting number (not serial number) is on the other side of the engine, down low near the oil pan near the motor mount bracket. I'm willing to bet that when you find it, it will say F54.

thanks, Arne! i will look at that in the morning. gotta sleep sometime. now is that time. adios amigos! :classic: ....... just to brag a little and share my other types of work (i.e. my detail faults).....check out flappinflags.com "surrender the booty" and "prepare to be boarded" are my art. (shameless plug):pirate: hence the triple x pirate decals on my fenders. "good night, and good luck"
