Wtb: L28 F54 Or N42 Blocks

[Shaun05]

Hey people,

 

As the title states, I'd like to purchase any L28 F54 or N42 blocks that might be available. They can be bare block, bottom end or whole engine. I am willing to travel to pick them up or pay for freight. If you've got any you don't want, let me what you want for them.

 

Cheers,

Shaun

I have got two.   One used. one rebuilt with SWM supplied bearings. race bolts and seals. Head recon by UMR engines  $4000 The lot pickup only Brisbane.

[Shaun05]

Still looking, if anyone has got one they want to part with.Thanks Peter but looking for more of a blank canvas than a finished peice.

I heard of a block, recently had been cleaned, then Sonic tested, the sonic tests were very revealing, in that this virgin block, had more than enough wall thickness, to be able to take 90.-91 mm pistons.

That block was onsold for $1000,

Its a bit of a lucky dip, as only around 1 in every 20 are that thick in the bores!

[Shaun05]

Bump. Still looking.

I am guessing you're looking for 1 to overbore to suit the LD28 crank? Can be a lucky dip finding 1 that will go out to 3.1 or 3.2 ltr..

[dat2kman]

Around 1in 15, maybe more, is the door prize!

Yeah Gav, I'm after a block that'll go to 89mm or more. I'm not using the LD28 crank though. I still have it but may choose to sell it, as I've gone in a slightly different direction.

[Shaun05]

Yep, still looking. Keep in mind, I'm willing to take whole engines if need be.

 

Cheers

1 in 10 blocks if your lucky...N42 blocks seem to sonic up with more meat than the F54 for some reason

The four cylinder guys are now getting anxious over certain casting numbered blocks, for their stroker combos!

Getting rarer and rarer!

I may be interested in your LD28 crank, if that's still the case,
