<>Engine Swap - Big Bore L24 or L28. <>Jack wrote:.

I am thinking of upgrading my L24 w/ an L28 w/ fuel injection. Is it more expensive to bore out my L24 to L28 dimensions or should I buy a remanufactured L28 w/ fuel injection from Nissan? I also would like to add an LD28 crankshaft for more torque..

Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated..

Best regards,.

Jack.

Hi Jack,.

Doc here. It is not advisable to try boring the L24 block to the L28 size. I believe the cylinder walls get too thin for dependability. Start with the 280 block and finding a good one rebuild one stock, or with oversize pistons. The LD28 crankshaft stuff is more exotic and will work but many $$$ are required with more parts to correctly perform this engine
build. My best suggestion is to count the cost, and contact Jim Bowen in the ZONC Club. He has one of these things that I believe is happy with and he can fill you in on the truth of the total package, and the approximate cost too..

I hope that you can find some light to your questions..........and Wisdom too...........

"Thats what I get for going to Clutch-Mart" "Frosty" wrote Doc: "That is what I get for getting the job done at "Clutch Mart", And yes there is noise when the clutch is disengaged or the trans is in neutral. Any info will help." Read Doc's answer to Frosty and other Datsun enthusiasts who have sought his advise for the last couple decades on Doc's Tech pages.

280Z Dies SudenlyTravis here(Zonc #98029), in Fresno. I have a problem with my 1977 280z which I can not figure out. It started today. Just driving down the road the car shut off, I disengaged the clutch and it started right back up. I drove it home only about a mile. Tonight I drove it to FSU and it shut off 3 times on the way there, while it was cold and running at temp. I just hooked up a test light to the fuel pump and drove the car. The light is inline with the pump so when the pump is getting power the light is on.
