cnwayland Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) Just finished rebuilding my F54 block and noticed that the current L24 in my '72 is leaking coolant around the head gasket (avoid Felpro in the future) so my winter project is becoming an Autumnal project. I plan on using the early E88 I have on my current motor but want to test the waters and look for an early head to begin the build before tearing the whole engine bay apart. Looking for something to rebuild with larger valves, etc; not a fully built top-end. Thank you to everyone who was on the look out for the E31 for me. I realized that for my setup it's got to be: '71-'72 E88, pre-emission, small chamber Edited November 1, 2014 by cnwayland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badler Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 If I can find a stroker (think I'm getting close), my E88 will be available in a few weeks, I will keep you in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madkaw Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Please post your build too! 54 flat top? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnwayland Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 Madkaw, I didn't take many photos, just these two. Took about 3-4 hours working at the local machine shop which had all the tools I'd need. Lots of fun and good learning. Badler, thanks and best of luck on finding that stroker.

I have an E/31 cyl head that comes with cam towers less camshaft in great shape $275.00+shipping. Edited October 23, 2014 by zentech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnwayland Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 Still looking ~ @zantech, I need the camshaft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob240z Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Hi cnwayland, I have a E31 that came out of my 71 240z when I did a v8 swap last year. The head is complete and still attached to the block on an engine stand. It didn't leak at all and was in a good running car, I just wanted to swap in a v8. The head, cam, valves is stock, but the previous owner said the valve seats were changed a few years before I bought the car in 1999. Engine had about 75,000 miles on before it came out. If you can't work things out with Zantech get in touch. Take care, Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cnwayland Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Just to clarify, I edited my post to reflect that I'm looking for the pre-emission E88 cylinder-head, '71-'72 era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
