I will check the junk yards and going to corpus is easy. I am not sure what to expect from there, plus I was looking for a better than stock engine. A rebuilt stock engine is good, I would take it (or the car) if the price is right. I am very worried about taking a chance on a Junkyard engine due to my limited knowledge of recognizing quality in a pick and pull enviroment. There was a good ZX turbo in my home town but the turbo(with manifolds) & cylinder head are gone. Rats. Oh well i'd imagine that engine would need help not being run in 8 years.

I forgot to mention that I would like a complete engine with turbos(which of course would include manifolds) and anything else needed to complete the swap that is engine related. Yeah I wanna upgrade to something faster, plus i've never enjoyed the thrill of a turbo charged vehicle.

I want to buy a L28et engine that Is built up a bit or rebuilt. Basically I'm looking for an L28et in excellent shape, to drop in my 280z. Right now I will be shopping around for the right price, I'm just wondering if any of you guys have one laying around you can sell me.

Sweet. (*tear*)

Yeah what they said! The Members attitude and the oranization of the site are great. I agree with Zmefly on the Chat room. Maybe on the homepage or above the options menu there could be a box that says if anyone is in the chat room.

have you given thought to the L28et 280zx turbo engine?

A picture is worth 1000 words, and you'll probably need several.

I suppose it could be sanded down and painted it is just surface rust and they are still strong. Texas Z has the bumpers now you should pm him to see if you can take it off his hands.

Butchered?? Now here is butchered... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6187&item=2425781070 Chop top V8.

I've seen a few custom vents in the gallery that i like. Stock? its okay if i had no other choice, if i had a choice NO. I'm just glad my 78 doesn't have any.

For the thead reference: I got them off by hammering out the brake drums in the rear. I broke some pieces off one so if you are trying to salvage them be careful. I removed the caliper pins, cut a brake line and knocked the brake pads out (way easier than the drums once i cut the line).

yeah it is not "all-original" Still very nice though. That sunroof .......um.....

No they are the same 70-78

the bumpers are not in that great condition. One is straight but rusted. the other is shiny but bent up.

sorry...... http://www.classicZcars.com/photopost/data/500/3040280z.JPG should be able to see better there.

yeah bucthered is probably what a stock z car will be after a run in with that Z at a stop light.

here is the only comfort i can offer you.. My 280z......... http://www.classicZcars.com/photopost/data/500/3040280z-thumb.JPG I will lose the bumper in the rear. I've been thinking of being like steve though.

oh yeah and hood vents can be found on 77-78 model years; though a 240z could be found with a vented hood since it is swappable. front turn signals... 240z below bumper http://www.classicZcars.com/photopost/data/530/1303Victor_s_Car-med.JPG 280 z has turn signals on front grill.... http://www.classicZcars.com/photopost/data/500/1703classic_z_.jpg

tailights..... 240z http://www.classicZcars.com/photopost/data/500/2692100_0024-med.JPG 280z http://www.classicZcars.com/photopost/data/500/3040280z_side_shot_with_wheels-med.JPG better look at 280z tail lights the reverse light is seperate.... http://www.classicZcars.com/photopost/data/500/2315003_3.jpg dash and center piece........ 240z http://www.classicZcars.com/photopost/data/500/1316my240z4-med.jpg 280z http://www.classicZcars.com/photopost/data/500/3040Pass_interior-med.JPG Also the 240z usually has the diamond vynil on the transmission tunnel and the 280z has carpet. ps.I took the diamond vynil off my 240z and put it on my 280z.

Is it possible to put the fron valence from a 240z on a 280z to be able to utilize 240z bumpers or am I stuck with fat air dams and such.

Sorry too excited i read what it is now. The turbo kit is a Turbo Toms draw through set-up that connects to a Holley 600 cfm double pumper carburetor. It is connected to the engine via a custom Turbo Toms log style intake.
