i'm about 40 miles from the car so it will be a bit before I can check it out.. its the OEM head, I know that.

keep the steering wheel..

oem L28, FI 1977 model.....

lol

i'm diggin your test mule

that sucks that he would smoke in a ride like that. Also sucks the car crashed... I'm hoping he was ok?

yeah, understandably so... oh well. Thanks for the help folks... I think I am gonna save the VG for something else and probably slap a new vavle and whatnot on it... again.

fixing with a welder of course.

7. Running vg30DE in S30, after installing with only a stick welder and scrap iron... priceless....

all good points. if there is a ton of work involved making the VG30DE work,then i'll just use it for parts for my 93TT... or sell it outright. maybe in the spring i'll look into fixing the valve. Hell maybe I'll buy a turbo head and go from there... to make this car look great and run good, your looking at a ton of investment (frame is rotting>...) so I really don't wanna pour too much into it, or make it that powerful. Just something to dink around with.... or part out..

this is what I was looking for. thanks! and, yeah, i'm not too hellbent on selling it... if someone wants to buy it, they can, but if no one does, then i'll just keep effing around with it.... lol my priorities are: Fix rust/dents on Z32 Paint Z32 Buy 720cc kit for Z32 Get Z32 dyno tuned tow datsun into garage/forget about it for a while decide to swap/fix engine and keep/sell. either way, not really on my front burner.

idk. i'm sick of the L28. whats a new valve cost? and i'm not gonna junk it. I want the car to go to a home where it will be used, but I figured, since I had the motor, and the car, why not...? I dont really wanna go through the hassle of fixing the L28 just to get 130 horses.. idk. I guess i'm just wierd like that.

So yeah, I've got an S30 thats been for sale for about 6 months now, with no serious offers, and I also have a spare VG30DE chillin in my garage... I also have a harness and ECU. I have searched but can't find anyone who has actually done this swap before, without adding turbos to the setup. The L28 in my Datsun has a bent valve, and is thus dead to me, so I wanna stick the Z32 motor in there, but I'm not sure how I would make the trans work, or even what transmission to use... I don't know if the Z32 motor will mount to the S30 transmission, or if I have to get a Z32 tranny... Anyone else think this is worth looking into? Or should I just junk the S30 for $50 and save the NA motor for when my 500WHP Z32 motor takes a dive... any light shed will be a step in the right direction for me. thanks

thanks for the link, i would also like 2 keep it nissan, but we are talking a next-to-free drivetrain... so maybe. maybe just rigg the blower from the ford onto the l28 lol.
