Hi all, I have a 260z with a worn out l26 motor, I got my hands on a l28 motor (f54 block p90a head solid lifters) Im going to use an E88 head that I have instead of the p90a, I have the motor stripped down, The block doesn't need to be rebored just honed and would like to keep it that why if possible. I was wondering is it possible to get standard size 86mm flat top pistons to increase my CR. This is my first rebuild so if anyone has anyother sugestions please feel free to advise me, Thanks, Jay.

started work on the car last weekend.......alot of work to be done, gonnatake the engine out tomorrow.....

Sam Hill?, never heard of that guy , Knackered more or less means "worn out"....... Jay.

Hi, Im in the republic, (Wicklow).....yeah i joined the uk club too....a bit closer to home! gonna be my first project of this sort, hope it all goes well, Thanks, Jay.

I'm able to get my hands on a complete l28 engine.....going to do a swop as my l26 is knackered. thanks for all the help, Jay.

Hi, I have a 260z 2+2 with the origonal engine but with 240z carbs.......im changing the engine to an l28 but want to keep the carbs. is it just a matter of putting my origonal manifold and carbs onto the l28 or is there more to it. thanks in advance, Jay.

yeah body isn't too bad looks worse than it is, the car was originally blue but previous owner sprayed it mat black and never used primer so there are a few spots of surface rust...and engine needs sorting out too....

Hi thanks for your comments, Yeah Paddy's day is a very big deal over here, lot's of parade's and lot's of drink too .... the only bit of rust seems to be on the bonnet, it has 2 new wings too, the floors were welded but welded very badly soo ill chop them out and replace them, any welding or fabricating to be done i can do myself. thye engine has seen better day's, its an l26 with 240 carbs, dont know wether to rebuild the engine i have, or to replace it with an l28....... parts for these cars are impossible to find in ireland, its the only one ive seen over here, although im sure they are afew more... thanks, Jay.

Hi, Its a 1975 260z 2+2, in a very bad state at the moment as yu can see
