Dose anyone know a site to find out all the information on my 260Z engine?

HP, torque, compression ratio, bore, stroke, all the goodies.
And will a 280Z small block fit my 260Z engine?

1974 junkyard 260Z
100% Junk Will be restored to a new car by next year.

Tony,

Buy a Haynes manual. They will cover repairs as weel as give you the info that you are after.

...or pick up a CD ROM of the factory manual. I got tired of getting outbid for the out-of-print '78 manuals on E-bay, so I bought the CD ROM from Courtesy Nissan:
http://www.courtesynissan.com/
It turns out it was the best option, anyway. I didn't have to pay upwards of $100 for a vintage book and now I have a searchable, cross-referenced, compact version. Best of all, I can print out what I need and take it under the car. If I douse the page with oil or something else really dumb I haven't ruined a rare and expensive book. I just print another copy of the page.
Anyway, the point is that a manual (Haynes or factory) will have those specs and if you're looking at doing a lot of work you absolutely must get one.
For the L28, the nominal specs are:
2753 cc, 168.0 cu in
86 mm bore
79 mm stroke
8.3:1 compression
Don't remember the torque and hp off hand (I don't put much belief in anything I don't see on a dyno for myself, anyway), but they're on your data plate, somewhere. Also, check out www.zhome.com for some good tech details. Hope this helps!

Actualy I got a copy of the out of print version for like $50 bucks from Marque Publishing, the only thing is it's the australian version, so the steering wheel is backwards, but i'ts new, and its very usefull.

Thats the site, that should take you directly to the Datsun Page, if it doesn't work, just go to

http://www.marque.com.au

And scroll down to the Datsun link

You order by email, just email them the order book number for the book you want, and they'll respond within a few days.

Hope that was helpfull

Thanks! I'll probably get a hard copy at some point, just to have it.
