Cliff Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Hi all. I have been keeping an eye or three out for an L28 but I must be looking in the wrong place?? Or do they not come up much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PB260Z Posted November 16, 2016 Moderators Share Posted November 16, 2016 Gidday They are around, what are after Bare block Short motor Long motor Complete runner, carb or EFI Maybe try posting a wanted detailing what you would ideally like and what would be close enough. Just a thought Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Posted November 16, 2016 Author Share Posted November 16, 2016 Thanks Peter, Yeah I probably should. I am just not in a rush (as I am still cutting rust city) but have had an eye out for about 9 months - obviously in the wrong place. I have an f54 short motor but the previous owner had it out in the weather so ideally looking for either a runner (carb) or long motor.

pauly_adams Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 honestly, if it turns over freely with the plugs out, spray some WD40 in each cylinder put some fresh oil in it and run it, L6 engines are pretty dam tough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linton Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 not a 28 but I have a 26 only done 12k km since full rebuild if your interested freight might be a killer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brabham Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 In the 80s turbo F1 cars they used to leave the blocks in the weather as they thought it made them stronger. Take what you have to an engine builder and see if it can be saved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.A.R. Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 IMG_0107.JPG Hey Pauly - maybe not my one? see attached. Perfect candidate for a rebuild. Just overbore it to 86mm = 2.8ltrs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhog Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 And you have lots of options for cylinder heads and crankshaft/con-rod/pistons depending on budget.So the block is a great place to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
