WTB 70-83 Z engine

I'm preferably looking for an 82/83 ZX flat top na engine so I can slap on an N42 head and have high compression motor. But I am open to other options. I don't want a turbo engine though as I don't want to fool with setting it up for EFI.

I'm in Chattanooga, TN but have no problem paying for shipping if you're not local. I just want a clean performance engine. PM me with what you've got.

I have a rebuilt L-28 short block machined and bored 1/2mm over with new pistons. E/mail me if interested and we can work out the details mwsilkmike23@gmail.com.

Got busy the last few days. Yes It's for sale a short block that was rebuilt by previous owner but blew the head a few months later. I'll have to take it to get weighed to figure out cost to your zip code. E/mail me all details address etc.@ mwsilkmike23@gmail.com.thanks.

FWIW I'm from just outside of Knoxville, TN and have a good running and driving 1976 280Z i'm removing the drivetrain (motor, trans, and driveshaft) from soon to put a 5.3l V8 with 4l60e transmission into and am trying to sell the original 2.8L engine and 4 speed. Mileage is 169,000 and runs like a top. The Z came from Virginia and had to have emissions testing so it has all the smog and emissions even the original datsun intake. If you're interested shoot me a PM and idk about a price just give me an offer.

Fuel Injected Motor as well.

169,000 miles on engine that's a great deal as engine is just breaking in. Might just need new gaskets where stress points are.
