red_dog007 Posted March 13, 2008 Share #1 Posted March 13, 2008 Well, I everything taken off of the motor. Going to be renting a engine hoist from Autozone here soon to get my motor pulled.I know that I want to get my head taken in so that the valves can be ported for 280z valves, and am thinking that I am just going to take the entire engine in to get machined, plus go a head and get the carbs rebuilt.Though, I want to take my engine to a place were they know what they are doing, especially with the L series engine. Does anyone know of a place around here that specializes in rebuilding and machining L engines? Atlanta, Nashville, Knoxville, Birmingham, ect. is all fine by me.

Bruce Palmer Posted March 14, 2008 Share #2 Posted March 14, 2008 If you're looking for input on machine shops in that neck of the woods you should call Roger Schmidt at ZBarn in the Knoxville area. 869-983-0314 As far as where to go with those carbs.... Anybody have any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mally002 Posted March 14, 2008 Share #3 Posted March 14, 2008 I'll ask around here on Friday, but as Bruce said Zbarn should be able to take care of the carbs at the least.If you find someone also let me know, that is always good information to have.PS....Bruce, the area code here is 865......

red_dog007 Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share #6 Posted March 14, 2008 That 865 number is a no go. Been disconnected, but the Toll Free number does work.1-800-247-2793 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_dog007 Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share #7 Posted March 25, 2008 Said that he doesn't do machine work. I am going to call him tomorrow to see if he could refer me to someone. Does anyone know of any good shops in Atlanta that know L engines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sblake01 Posted March 25, 2008 Share #8 Posted March 25, 2008 Z Barn is basically a Z/Datsun junkyard, from what I understand. I've talked to Roger a couple of times trying to find parts for my 810. Very knowlegable individual. I think the reason that Bruce referred you to him is because he knows the Datsun trade down there and if anyone can direct you, he can.

dkd021 Posted March 25, 2008 Share #9 Posted March 25, 2008 Being that you're in Chattanooga, you might want to consider Eradatz Motorsports in Kennesaw (770-926-6621). They're about 90 minutes south of you on I-75. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wishihadaz Posted April 22, 2008 Share #10 Posted April 22, 2008 I want to take my engine to a place were they know what they are doing, especially with the L series engine. Does anyone know of a place around here that specializes in rebuilding and machining L engines? Atlanta, Nashville, Knoxville, Birmingham, ect. is all fine by me.How about about "Balanced Performance".They are in the Atlanta area and have a connection to "Sunbelt".There was a write-up on a project zcar in Classic Motorsports magazine featuring them and what they did to the car. This might be good reference for the set-up you are talking about re: cams.There is also a company in Birmingham called "Paeco Industries".They have an extensive list of services and engine kits/parts.I have not had first hand experience with either though.
