hi guys i have a l28 that im going to put in to my 240k ive got the sump of the l24 so thats all good does any one no what i have to about the oil pick

Have you re-located the oil pickup strainer to the 240K sump pickup point?

2 ways of doing this; A or B

A . You'll notice at the bottom of the block there is an identical 'tab' on the L28 block which is located in the same location as an L24 block. This 'tab' needs to be drilled until you reach the oil gallery which runs alongside the block. You'll then need to tap thread holes to mount the oil strainer. Then block off the original L28 pickup point.

B . From the original L28 position, extend the pickup arm so that it fits exactly within the L24 sump. This can be done by cutting the pickup arm, and brazing another piece in. This I guess is the easier option but you must be sure the pickup fits deep within the sump bowl.

As for the dipstick, some simply relocate this to the side of the sump, I've gone down the route of drilling into the forward section of the block and having it looking all original.

Good luck

li go with the second option that's a lot

I went with option A, but you need someone who has experience with these engines to do it, if they stuff it up ..... well you just wasted an engine.

yea i didint want to ruin it so option b .i just cut the 240k pic up turned around its worked out well deep into the sump

Make sure to triple check the welds, if the pickup sucks air your engine will be ruined...

yes ive sent it of to be done by a pro .my welding skills are none existent . thanks for the advise

Learnt alot from this. Nice work
