-Crappy User -Athletic Supporter -HBZ Loser of the week And a few others, I don't want to look through all 27 pages though lol. And yes, I realize these are all in good fun. I'm just saying someone "not in the know" would probably get a chuckle out of them at the very least lol.

X64v, at least its not as bad as some of the others lol.

240z, 260z, 280z, and 280zx = Inline 6 300zx and up = V6

Neighborhood swimming pool? lol

I too agree that the admin here are some good guys. This is by far the best run forum on the internet.

I'm think I'm going to use the fuel injection parts off of the N42/N47 engine on the F54/E31 motor I'm planning. I know I have to notch the ports on the head for the fuel injectors. I'm just wondering if the stock ecu and injectors will be adequate for the higher compression and cam. I also have the round-top SU's off of my '72 and a Bob Sharp 4 barrel, would either one of these options be better than the efi or would they all be about the same performance wise? Thanks for all the help/suggestions!

Alright, who went 88mph in their delorean?

I got an N42/N47 L28e today. The deal was too good to pass up eventhough I'm pretty sure the N42 block has the lower comp, dished pistons right? I figure I could use it for parts at the very least. Could anyone confirm that I have dished or flat-top pistons? Thanks

Jon, I see what you're saying. I think I would be better off with the stock, flat-top L28 bottom end. As for the head though, my E31 has already been shaved (not sure how much though), its been ported and polished, and has a crane cams camshaft (I can find the specs on it if it would help). So I'm really just looking to changed out my P30 bottom end. Pete, thanks for clearing that up. I don't want to have to run race fuel as this car will see more street time then track time. And we've got the 93 octane here in NC too. Thanks everybody

And I'd be able to use pump gas for this setup right? And just to clarify, the ~11.5 comp ratio would be too high for pump gas? Thanks for all the input everyone.

They look like eclipse headlights.

Any idea how much shipping would be?

So would that be too high of compression for 93 octane? That's what I was afraid of. EDIT: And the head has already had the work done to use unleaded, I'm not sure about the valves though. The PO of the parts car I got the engine out of did all the head work.

I've got an L24 in my 240 now. The previous owner did a lot of head work, but afaik didn't do anything to the shortblock. My plan is to build a somewhat inexpensive short block to replace the L24 block. After playing around with the engine calculator, I think I've decided on using an F54 (flat-top pistons) with the rods from my spare L24. According to th calculator I'd have a comp ratio of 11.455:1 with my E31 head and a 3mm headgasket (due to the -2.75 deck clearance) The only big money item I would need to buy is the F54 shortblock. How much of a HP boost could I expect from this as opposed to my current 2.4l? Thanks a lot everybody! PS: Sorry if some of this doesn't make sense, I'm new to major internal engine work

It also doesn't feel very good when it splashes back into your eye...yea, that wasn't fun lol.

I've got one of the corners and the center piece in good shape. PM me if your interested.

Thanks for the response. And yea, mainly looking for some good used ones.

Heres some pics of my engine. No in-car pics though, although it is in the car. Sorry for the crappy phone pics, this is before I realized my phone had a better quality setting lol.

I've been looking around but can't seem to find anyone with Z20S pistons for sale. From what I've gathered, they were used in 510's and 720's. I'm trying to figure out how much they would cost and also where to get them. Thanks everybody

I believe so jdizzy

Use the shwartz! haha that movie's hilarious.

I don't think so, I know he's planning on running an L28 so I doubt it.

AFAIK, the entire rear suspension is missing.

Thanks guys. I had the same idea as monkeyt88. Me and a couple guys carried the stripped shell of my parts car onto a trailer. That will probably be the easiest way, especially since I don't know what kind of surface the car is on right now (the dollys might not roll depending on the ground where the car is).

My friend Rex is getting a 240z project car, it doesn't have an engine or transmission so it will have to be trailered back to his house. The only problem with this is there's no rear suspension therefore the z can't roll onto the trailer. Do you guys have any suggestions on how to get his car on the trailer? Thanks guys
