V-Fib Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Can anyone comment on the backwards compatability of an L24 oil pickup tube in an L28 (F54) motor? I can't seem to find a new or used one online anywhere but do have one kicking around from an L24. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewZed Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) L24, L26 and L28 look to have the same part number up to 1978. So it looks like sump location is your issue. I'm assuming that the tube will fit the F54 block like it does the N42. Your question is really two. http://www.carpartsmanual.com/datsunS30/DatsunZIndex/Engine240Z260Z/OilPump/tabid/1572/Default.aspx This suggests there might be a difference though. Different part number. Definitely different shape by the illustration. Might have to use the pan too. http://www.nissanpartszone.com/Page_Product/PartDetail.aspx?ModelName=280ZX&ModelYear=1983&ModelSeries=S130&FileType=268&SelectConditions=%281%3d2S%3b2%3dL28E%3b4%3dMT%3b5%3dF5%3b%29&ShowConditions=%281%3d2S%3b2%3dL28E%3b4%3dMT%3b5%3dF5%3b%29&seeDesc=False&goBack=True&SectionNo=A&ComponentsNo=150&ComponentsIndex=12 They both show up on the courtesyparts.com site, but the Z is $.10 more than the ZX.
