L24 spec sheet?

[Six_Shooter]

I've done a quick search and haven't found what I'm looking for.

What I am looking for is a spec sheet on the L24 (preferebly 1973 if there were any changes), that will show all stock specs, compression ratio, firing order, jorunal sizes, bore, stroke, valve sizes, etc, basically a complete spec sheet of the entire engine. Wouldn't hurt if there were the same things for the other L series engines either.

So does such a thing exist for these engines?

Thanks

I have found some information on zhome, and it seems there were a lot of changes over the years, and the poor '73, seems to be the least desired for power and possible problems due to emmisions standards for that year. Looks like I won't be restoring my '73 afterall, I'll just hybridize it, since I'm not sure it would pull in enough return on investment to justify it.

If there is more information that on zhome let me know, I'm more just interested in what the specs are, just to know, not really because I plan to build or rebuild the L24 in my '73, especially being the lowest output of them all.

Just change the flat tops for round top SUs , install a 280ZZX dist and coil. She will perform as well as the '70-'72. Both things are easily changed back to OEM for a show . In my case I removed all the emissions add ons. The '73 got a bad rap because of the flat top carbs. I also changed the front bumper to a 240 euro. Another thing that can easily be changed back. The '70 -'71 are about 300 lbs lighter than the '73. thinner sheet metal and less weight in the emissions add ons. The block , crank and pistons are the same. Compression is lower, emissions again. If you are doing a Restoration you most likely will not be driving the car anyway. If doing a refresh, that is a different story. I did a complete refresh on my '73 and installed a '82ZX engine, lowered the rear end gear ratio a little. Went with euro stage 1 springs and lowered the car overall about 2'' or so. Kept the SUs and painted her the color I liked . I did the car for me, how I wanted it. So it all depends on what your intentions are for the car. We are here to help where we can . All the best to you. Gary

Even if I did a restoration, I would drive it, I can't stand seeing or hearing about a car that is perfect but is never driven, there's no point in owning it then. Cars were built to be driven.

My plans are to do a wild build up, this '73 I'm getting is in VERY good shape so I had ideas of restoring it, or somewhere between a refresh and restore to sell it. But I think I'm just going to go through with my plan. Starting with a body in this good shape will save a whole lot of time repairing a bad shell.

I'm not sure how much I'm going to do with this engine. I may screw around with it for a year or so, but plans are to swap in a larger and built for much more power engine.
