Lgee Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 im looking for a L26- L28 as well, is your 26 any good? Quote
AussieZed Posted July 11, 2009 Author Posted July 11, 2009 The story goes about my L26 that it was fully recond, and then with 20K on it blew a head gasket. It is possible.......... I guess..... if I find an L28 you are welcome to have a look at my L26, but it isn't exactly running!! Quote
mossy Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 Have you tried any of the self service wreckers around Melbourne, I picked up a F54 L28 today from one for $150. Quote
Moderators Zedman240® Posted July 12, 2009 Moderators Posted July 12, 2009 Spotted a L28 at Center Rd wreckers in a 280C. I'm sure it's a N42/N42 but could be a F54 bottom end; can't remember. Trick there is to remove the head and buy it, then buy the block afterwards. Works out alot cheaper. It's a good idea to strip and check it just to make sure it's fine for use. Did that once before Quote
AussieZed Posted July 13, 2009 Author Posted July 13, 2009 Thanks guys, this is all great advice, appreciate it. Quote
Reaper-Zed Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 no joke have a L28 sitting up the back paddok use to belong to a mate wish it hadn't sat outside for the last 5 years otherwise might be some use to u Quote

Moderators Zedman240® Posted August 13, 2009 Moderators Posted August 13, 2009 Is this directed at me? Yeah Lance, just curious... would'nt mind trying an engine rebuild.. Quote
Reaper-Zed Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 Bad news its been sitting at the side of one of dads sheds for last 4-5ish years, came from my mates 280zx when me and him were putting in his new engine at my house, for some stupid reason i said i might use it one day to make a buggy ... well that idea died along with alot of my other mad scientist idea's, havent really been out to the olds house for a while they live rural vic, id fair say its no good/worth your time dude. It barely run/ ran with smoke/ overheated a fair wack back when it was in the 280zx hence why we took it out, sadly that zx rolled down a embankment about 3-4 years ago to, was a nice car. I'll go out there in a week or 2 and have a look how bad it looks cant remember if we blocked any of the ports with rags when we took the manifold off its a short motor i know that much. I'll get back to you. Quote
Timwell Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 OZ001 that was directed at you. I live in SYD and if it is an F54 block I will gladly take it off your hands.....pick up this saturday...possibly this wednesday if its in the right location in SYD and for the right price. If its an E88 head all the better. my number iz zero four 3 8 then one 8 two and finally zero 97. regards, Tim Quote
