ya theres just more surface area to hold more for the turbo/2+2

Sweet. Well their new to me, Im kinda reading the part of the 72 FSM

stick with a paper filter if you live in a dusty area.

I would. If I didnt have to buy a new air filter case and everything

what wrong with using the l24 intake?

do you have the filter box for the early SU's?

I got sad when i put a 2+2 clutch and flywheel on there cause i also swaped out my 3.90 for a 3.54. I lost alot of go juice. i also miss my old L28E. 400K miles burnt oil badly. but had lots of power. and it spent 360K of those miles mated to a auto.

The air filter box wasnt on the Z when I got the engine so Its just the carbs

Ok got Most of the parts I needed to install on it, I still need to install the S130 oilpan then I have to replace a few rubber lines and the crank pulley and the flywheel then its done. When I took the oil pan off the oil left inside it STUNK BADLY it smell like cigarette smoke @.@ I'm hoping thats just really really old oil smell

Anything I should do while the engine is out and apart like this?

clean any sludge, pull the oil pump and clean it up and install new seals.

Already done sept for the oil pump thing, Im sure its fine well time to hook the tranny to the engine and drop them in. Just gotta get some oil coolant and a FPR

Dumb question for later work. What would happen if I used L28 rods and crank but used the L24 pistons and block? is that possible?

it would give you about 0.1L of displacement

Shouldn't it turn it into a mocked up L26?

rounding up, yes. its about 2.56xL

Huh I should have known a crank from an L engine should fit in other L engines.... duh ofr w/e reason I thought a L28 crank may have been different from an L26 crank

Well no more work on the engine today, was way to windy and stormy to have a few 100lbs flying around in the air. I should start taking photos so this isnt as boring lol

Yay for dumb questions! But What do I do about the charcoal canister? Just find a way to hook it up Im guessing?

Now that I may be getting a 280Z, Id rather have that one set up as carbs then my ZX I wish I had two sets of SUs

Ok engine is dropped in all set to go. I didnt put the tranny on so thats next!. fun times.... not. For now I wont have power steering (I just wanna get it running at this point) then I'll get more parts for it later.
Now to install the flywheel/clutch! Pics here soon.

Got it in the Z! Yes is leaning back against the firewall. I was tired and didnt care at the point of doing this, at lest I put that rubber hose there so it wouldn't hurt anything

Front view. looks weird w/o the bumper...

Attachment 20728
What does this do And can I get rid of it?

Engine AND Transmission in the car! was WAY ****ing easier to do then that ****ing Z32!

Now all I need to do is finish hooking things up and install the radiator. tho when I tried to turn over the engine all it would do is click but the starter wouldnt turn at all... I jumped it and it turned fine but idk why It wont work well time to see what was probably fried when the water hit the engine bay...

whats the make and model of that A/C compressor?

No clue. its and its mount is sitting in my scrap pile. Its still good I think its not seized up. I just dont want that one inside my Z. And why do you ask?

Dont care about the mount, but a make and model would be awesome, their should be a tag somewhere on it.

I'll go check really fast then.
