Hello lads, I'm currently restoring a 1973 Datsun 260c with a tired old L26. Im looking for a new engine to drop straight in. 28 preferred but if you've got a clean l26 that would work too!

Hey guys, I'm putting my old project car up for sale: http://www.ozdat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=6303 to be honest I'm unclear what I should be asking for the car, but it's a fun car, and when going, it's fast as hell. I'm looking for around $15,000 13,000 for it. It ran a best of 12.83 @ 115MPH on 9psi with a 2.2 60' time (195 street tyres and an open diff). It's currently tuned for 19psi and has a locked diff, so is obviously substantially faster than that.

Custom simple alu panel with a couple of Autometer gauges. The bad bits: The engine definitely needs a freshen up, and a proper L28ET oil pump. First outing around calder park (see link at the end) when the oil cooler first opened it, coupled with a standard L20B oil pump (previous owner installed) lowered the oil level sufficiently that with semi-slicks I lost oil pressure around turn 1 and ate the bearings. It needs new main bearings, and likely big-end bearings and a general refresh too. The body is not rust-free. Honestly it needs some tender love and care on the body. I don't know the exact condition until I get to the car in November. Thanks for looking, if anyone has read this far, I also have a few other parts I'll be putting up for sale, 2 4.4:1 R200 LSDs, 1 with the axles and CVs still (sale pending), a mint 1600 primered shell (6K in body receipts from bodyz by nick in Ballarat), a 5000Km old S15 SR20DET and 6-speed, 1600 adjustable rear x-member from datsport, and a few other things that I can't remember right now Dave https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BFqmn7IelI
