Posted March 10, 20196 yr comment_570580 I have a nice looking 240z but the motor is a little tired. My engine has triple webbers and header. I am torn between going crazy with2jz/rb/ls1 swap or install a nice crate engine. How much reliable rwhp can I get out of crate L engine ? I am looking for recommendations on places to buy the crate engine.

March 10, 20196 yr comment_570582 You should look at Rebello's site and Datsun spirit's site for specs. either one will make plenty of power. Rebello is closer to you on the West coast Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/61780-l-crate-engine-recommendations/#findComment-570582 Share on other sites More sharing options...
March 10, 20196 yr comment_570584 Friday I ordered a L28 from Eiji who owns Datsun Spirit, Inc. I had been shopping around for a couple of months and asked Facebook groups for thoughts. After lots of positive recommendations for DSI, I talked with Eiji by phone a couple of times. It was easy to gain confidence in their work. DSI ships all over the country and internationally. Good luck! Datsun Spirit, Inc.

March 10, 20196 yr comment_570589 Red77.....You made a very wise decision. You’ll get an amazing engine from Eiji and he will build it himself. He’ll check and double check every measurement and part and will send pictures throughout the process. It’ll be worth every penny you spend. Keep us updated with pics......congrats!

March 10, 20196 yr comment_570590 Diseazd, thanks for the vote of confidence. Eiji is well respected in every forum, far and wide. It’s up to 3 months out, but worth the wait, I’m sure. ✔️ Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/61780-l-crate-engine-recommendations/#findComment-570590 Share on other sites More sharing options...

March 10, 20196 yr comment_570594 Nice photos! Just noticed you’re in Richmond a little south of Eiji. I grew up in southwest VA near Roanoke, now in Raleigh NC area. So, you got an engine or servicing from Eiji? Sent him pics of my car. He said he liked my Enkei92 wheels. From you pics I see his too.

March 10, 20196 yr comment_570595 I usually build my own motors, but Eiji built both of my Strokers. I wouldn’t trust anyone else. Getting ready to go head to head at Dinwiddie quarter mile track again this Spring with Eiji. Gonna see how the Stroker does in the sprint.
