Correct, Pardon my H.

I'm imagining the L25 means he put a 260 crank in his 240 motor and then had the block sleeved to run slightly undersized pistons he had custom made.

He'll get $45K I think, maybe $50. It's a RHD in the big money area of California. Some kid will end up with it.

Not a Z or a Datsun, probably not very quick (0.8 liter engine) but kind of neat.

Not a Z or a Datsun, might be pretty fast.

Roller bearing crankshaft and spins up to 8000 RPMs. I watched most of the video. Sounds like a nice lumpy cam but he never does wind it up.

$26,250 for the Honda with the motorcycle carbs.

$132,000 for the Pantera.  There's a video but the guy never really got on it, unless I missed it.  I FF'ed through parts.  Drone....

I always wanted a pantera. Almost bought one for 26k about 10 years ago. Would have been a good investment. Really cant afford one now

Makes a big difference where you put the decimal point. 🤣  Opps!!

Looks like it was relisted again a third time.

It's like a water cooled motorcycle engine.

Nicely laid out engine too, the distributor driven directly on the end of the camshaft, and even a cable driven tachometer.

That could surprise you. A friend of mine had one about 10 years ago and we, (me behind the wheel) drove it a few miles..  It was a cabriolet also red.. We are both about 6 foot 4 Hahaha can you visualise it ?  It was pretty fast and thats because it's light weight.. and the bike engine has enough power in it. (It was a just new restored car and engine was top!)  They have.. like a bike, chain drive you know.. hahaha
