Is the 2K with or without supplying a core.? If you consider the cost of a core engine, and subtract that off the 2K, it would be hard to beat. Get more details on what is supplied as far as new parts, and what machine work is done.

Do you mean Datsun Parts LLC? If so, you may want to search the site here a bit before sending off your money.

YES NO CORE and 300 for shipping>>not looking for a monster motor ...260 engines are higher hp stock then 240's right?

The L24 and L26 are the same basic engine - however the L26 has a longer stroke. Minus all original emissions considerations - if you equipped either of them with the same head - the larger engine should produce more torque/HP than the smaller one.

I'd be looking for a shop close to home - to have an engine rebuilt. I'm sure there are plenty in New York - just talk to folks in the local clubs. If you have a 240Z with it's original engine - I'd have that one rebuilt and keep it with the car.

I would expect to pay around $3000.00 to have either L24/L26 properly rebuilt - if I took the engine to the rebuilder and picked it up when done. With good machine work, new parts needed, seal kits etc - you would have around $1800.00 in parts and labor - not counting the disassembly and re-assembly and time spent locating all the needed parts. Turn around for that work, at a good shop should be 3 to 4 weeks. {takes time to get all the parts assembled, the head/block scheduled in the machine shop etc}.

You really don't want to deal with a vendor that is out of state - unless they are one of the big names with outstanding reputations. Hard to sue someone in another state, or even recover any funds...just not worth it.

Correct. I also recommend a search on DatsunParts LLC before doing anything...

Since New York is such a large State - you might be closer to a Z Club in another surrounding State.

FWIW,
