good luck finding one here!
I have been slowly piecing my L28 back together.
I would sell you mine if you wanted one that doesnt run.

And i dont know if they have anything that would help you right now but did you try Nismokc.com?

JPerkins

haha, exactly why i'm posting up everywhere lookin for an engine. they aint exactly easy to come by here unless you completely rebuild em yourself.

JPerkins

whats left to be done to your engine? and whats missing from it?

oldschool280

basically it just needs the timing chain tensioner reset. my uncle dropped teh chain while i was putting on the head that i bought. thats all i know that needs to be done. i have all the gaskets and everything for it, i just dont have time to finish it.

JPerkins

what sort of condition is the head in?

Cuz if all it needs is the tensioner reset and the head put back on, then thats a heck of a step forward from where i am now. I've got a bare block and all components. but something grenaded in the engine. somethin locked up and busted the cam sprocket. Sprocket is cracked all to hell and missing two spokes. dunno what caused it. crank and everything in the block moved freely while i was strippin it, so my thoughts are that something in the head seized up or something in the chain tensioner got jacked all to hell and caused the chain to bunch up, cuz there is a chunk knocked out of the timing chain cover as well. would prolly be a simple fix to get it running a again, but like i said, i'm under a time crunch and i don't want to take a chance on the integrity of the block and head. don't have time to have it machined or resonance tested.

The head is in decent condition, i bought it from a guy on Nismokc.com.

if you are interested in looking at it we could set something up, just let me know.

oldschool280

If you want i will sell you the whole car...

JPerkins

thanks OldSchool, but one of my local buddies came through for me yesterday. Turbo motor with a fresh rebuild on it. got it for a steal. dependin on the condition of your car i may be interested in buying it, but at a later date. Holiday season isn't going to be nice to my finances.
