pureZero Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) I'm looking for a fuel injected L28, preferably out of a 1978. Needs to be a running motor without any serious issues. I know someone has to have one sitting around that was swapped out for a SBC or RB. I am on a serious budget, so being able to drive and pick it up would be wonderful! I'm in Clallam County. I don't want to low-ball anyone, so just let me know what you are thinking as far as price. 500-800 is around my ideal price range. Thanks!

pureZero Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share Posted January 11, 2014 I do not mind shipping it, as long as it won't cost too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Here's a whole car in Seattle. Take the motor, sell the body to PicknPull, and the transmission on CL. http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/4275686630.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pureZero Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 Well here's my deal... I don't know what parts of that will transfer over from that 83 to my 78. I have the one that is just a little bit different than the other years, and I don't have a lot of the sensors. I'll take that car into consideration, but I would much prefer a running 78 L28 with everything still connected to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pureZero Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 I ended up finding this: http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/pts/4283415684.html That right there is most everything I am missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) You should probably define better what you mean by "L28". Do you want a complete engine, with manifolds, injectors, water pump , thermostat housing, etc.. still attached? Do you need the AFM, distributor, ECU and other engine control parts? The parts from a 1978 long block will transfer over to a 1983 long block. Easier to find a long-block than a complete engine. Any L28 from 75 to 83 would work except that you would want square port exhaust for 75-76. Good luck. Edit - you posted while I was writing. It's not clear what you're looking for, your CL ad in #5 iists everything except the engine, you said you need an engine in Post #1. Contradictory. Good luck.

pureZero Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 I thought that bit was clear enough, sorry. I ended up finding most of what was missing on my motor from that Craigslist listing. Also, the guy says he has a good L28 as well, so we'll see. That listing was put up today, by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 So you have a 78 with an empty engine bay and you're gathering parts. Makes more sense. Make sure you get the right exhaust manifold for whatever head the L28 engine has. Square versus round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pureZero Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 Oh yeah, that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
