jimbo5670 Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 I have pulled a junkyard l28et, and currently am going to swap it into my 72 z, can i use the l24 tranny and clutch in this? Thanks, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Welcome. Just about any trans/clutch/engine combo you can think of has been done and documented here. I found this info by searching for "l28 l24 clutch". Don't have to read too far to find your answer. http://forums.hybridz.org/search.php?searchid=301814 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehelix112 Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 You would be fine. I might suggest you replace the front bearings in the gearbox (30 minute job) before putting it back in. I chewed the countershaft bearing when running my 240Z box behind the L28 turbo. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo5670 Posted January 23, 2006 Author Share Posted January 23, 2006 so there should be no problems throwing 200-250 horses at that? The reason im dead set on this is i already have the clutch, and am on a budget. matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I guess my link didn't work. Here's the deal. The 240 came with the weakest pressure plate. The 260 and 280Z came with a stronger pressure plate. If you have an aftermarket 240 pp they are usually the same as the 260 and 280. IME they'll hold down about 200 whp, at which point they start to slip really bad in the higher gears. Put ~250 whp to one and you basically have no ability to launch the car anymore. Mine wouldn't even move. Just sat there burning the clutch. It will also slip for 2-3 seconds between shifts. My ACT pp is holding down my ~240ish whp now just fine, but the stock pp wouldn't do it. If you want to use that flywheel you'll need an aftermarket pp. If not, you'll need a turbo flywheel and a turbo pp with the larger diameter disk. IF YOU SWAP THE CLUTCH YOU NEED THE APPROPRIATE THROWOUT BEARING COLLAR TO GO WITH IT. Even though my link didn't work you can SEARCH "l28 l24 clutch" and you will come up with the same very relevant links that I tried to get you to in the first place, and they will have more info and insight about your question.
