DAMN! nice dude! thats a killer NA motor! do you know if your cam maker will be selling cams for the L series motors? I like the idea of running a higher redline with less valvespring pressure! hope you whoop some proche ass, fo course the 240Z did it when it came out, so no reason for you not to with 2X the HP and less weight!! Rock on! McAdam

Anyone else seen this site?? thought it was too good to be true, but I don't know..... ANyone, ANYONE!?? http://www.okinawaimportmotorsports.com/index.htm

Hey all, here are my plans for a longrod motor using the stock block that we find in every 280ZX. L24 crank throw @ 73.7mm 140MM deisel rods (beefy and strong) Z31 pistons (pin height of 31.75mm, 2mm overbore) 140 + 31.75 + 73.7/2 = 208.57mm bore the block out to 89mm, as per usual, and you would end up having to mill the 300zx piston only .7mm to acheive a zero deck height! with this combo rod/stroke ratio would be damn near 1.9 to 1 (1.89959 to be exact) Also ,you would not lose any displacement with this motor, as it would be 2751CC's roughly, and think of the turbo potetnial and the revability of this engine anyone out there have a 240 crank and a set of deisel rods they wanna get rid or? let me know what you think McAdam

I know everyone has heard this rumor about how the L series motor is a copy of a Mercedes motor. My question is does anyone in here know if a head (crossflow or DOHC) from one of these motors will fit on one of our venerable L motors? could anyone go out to a junkyard and take some measurements? I would but where I am, I am lucky to find a Z in a JY, let alone a mercedes! lol!
