Guest d3finitlymaybe Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 ^^^there is always shipping .... but $350 for shipping on a $250 engine kinda sucks...lol. so does atk engines have a web site or something?

fl327 Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 atkengines.com or try searching for atk engines, it will come up quick. or just wait around for a zxt to show up for sale wrecked or running cheap, its not hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest d3finitlymaybe Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 I checked out ATK engines web site...it seems like they have a 280zx engine....im not sure what the price is..if it comes with a tranny, ecu, or anything else like that.... I guess i will have to wait and call their sales department....About how much should i look at paying for a l28et? Ive heard from around 250 -500? with or without tranny...?

fl327 Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 atk is rebuilt engine ONLY. to get ecu harness dist etc etc, best bet is to find an entire car putting it together in small pieces you end up paying a lot and still being incomplete. best bet is to find an entire zxt, i myself have destroyed four 2+2 zxt cars this year alone. Junkyard is also a good place to look, but once agian, the price of paying for parts seperately is a lot more than a lot of us have gotten our donor cars for. Any Z trans will work behind turbo motor. trannies are cheap for these engines, i wouldnt worry about finding a complete driveline, if you can get the engine for a fair price do it. otherwise look for an entire car, they are around cheap, you may have to wait but they do come around, its not hard. I cant tell you how much you should pay because people want different amounts for what they have. I bought my runnning donor for 160$$, if thats any indicator.

Guest d3finitlymaybe Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 gotcha..thanks a lot for your help man. I doubt i will find any thing useful in the junkyards around here..there is only one pick and pull..and last time i was there they didnt have much...But it wouldnt hurt to check it out again... If i dont find a complete car then i would have to find the l28et's motor (complete), tranny, ecu, fuel pump..and probably the rear differential right? i hope i can find a zxt for cheap thanks for your help fl327.

Guest d3finitlymaybe Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 found this, along with some others on ebay..but cant tell for sure if it is a turbo motor....kinda new to z cars...let me know what you think... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2446767850&category=6783 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fl327 Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 not turbo. What I think is best is to just keep your eyes open for a complete turbo z car, that is going for a good enough price. Shoot, find one that runs good enough so that you can learn it before you destroy it even. You need a lot of things and the best way to ensure you have them all is to get a running or non running turbo z that is all there. Rome wasnt built in a day partner. Breathe....

Guest d3finitlymaybe Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 lol, thanks man...i just get excited when i start thinkin about things, and i wanna start putting things together as quickly as possible....its hard for me to play the waiting game . But i will keep my eyes open... and hopefully find that diamond in the rough 280zx . thanks again for all your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
