72zcar Posted May 12, 2002 Share Posted May 12, 2002 Hey, I bought another 240z yesterday to add to my 72 v8 z and my 300zx. This one is a 73, it runs no rust need some work for 400$. Did a compression test on it today and it has 160 all across except # 1 that is 155... I was happy, thought I was going to find a 50 or something. It has a 5 speed (280 i guess) and electronic distributor. My question is.. the casting block # right above the starter starts out L24###. When I seen the 5 speed and the electronic ignition I thought I might have a 280z engine. But I'm assuming the L24 # on the block means its a 240z motor right? Anyhow, 400 bucks and I drove it home, I'm happy, or insane not sure. My wife was giving me weird looks but what else is new..haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted May 12, 2002 Share Posted May 12, 2002 24 should mean 240: = L24, - L26 ,-L28 can not beat a 4 bill price tag with compression and late model modifications and no rust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
