WTB: L28 short or tall motor, F54 preferably, & twin carb manifold (MELB)

[Hezath]

I plan on doing a low-boost turbo L28 for my H230 and I want to get the ball rolling by collecting some more bits. I've bought the L28ET exhaust manifold and turbo but that's about it so far.

 

I'm new to the L-series sixes - I think I'm after an F54 motor ideally, whether it has a head or not I don't really mind. I will need a head but it doesn't need to be an EFI top end or anything.

 

Would prefer something in good condition, but I'll consider things that need rebuilds as well. Happy to pay a bit for something with receipts or good history. Don't want to pay much for a dunger

 

Also keen on getting a Z-car inlet manifold with throttle linkages etc. I don't need carbs but they wouldn't hurt for a reference to set up whatever throttlebodies I run. Are L20A/L24/L26 twin carb manifolds all the same or are they different? I know that the carbs vary to some degree.

 

Thanks!

You running current 260 bottom end?

The thing you should hunt for, to go turbo, is a P90 head, 53cc comb chamber, suit low comp turbo use.

 

The N42 L28 bottom end will do the job nicely.

Shoot pzg302 a message, he had/has a few to get rid of

Thanks for the response.

 

It currently has the L26 motor, P30 bottom end and E88 head, original to the car as far as I'm aware

 

I'm not sure if I will actually need particularly low compression because I'm only planning on a few pounds of boost with straight LPG and maybe even water injection, but that head swap will definitely be a consideration. I'd like to keep the static CR as high as I can but I need to work out exactly what's going to work first.

 

I've had a PM from a guy mentioning an N42 L28 with some receipts that I will investigate some more.

 

I have seen pzg302's ads but I'd like to exhaust any local possibilities before travelling for parts.

 

Cheers!

Picked up Anth's N42 L28 today. Got some good bits with it and heaps of help loading it up. Very pleased, can't wait to fiddle around with it a bit and get it in the car.

 

Thanks again mate. Pleasure dealing with you
