Check out this ATK crate L28 engine on BaT

Still in the crate. Has odd exhaust ports. Has anyone seen this before?

Also has an odd "temperature sensor bung" that looks like it was welded on. Maybe for use in the 280ZX? N42 heads didn't use the cylinder head temperature sensor.

Already $1800. I'm surprised it's that high considering it's been sitting and you really don't know what you've got until you take it apart.

Is the compression ratio a turbo level compression ration?

Somebody called datsunparts bid $2200. There's a business called datsunparts, looks Roadster focused. Might be worth more parted out. Those exhaust ports are weird. Maybe it's a "detuned" L28 for a different model. Maybe the Z's got the good stuff.
