BlackBeaut Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Can't give you much detail but I've got a Patrol L28 sat outside from a 1987 vehicle. It's an F54 block with N42 head. Didn't have the carb on it when I collected but judging by the inlet manifold it's a single downdraft thing so pretty useless for a Z. I was also told by someone that a common mod by Patrol owners was to either swap the cam or complete head from a Z in to get a bit more power, which doesn't necessarily bode well for it having a frisky cam. Also had a points distributor, so I guess Nissan weren't fussed about decent performance! Cheers, Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stagefumer11 Posted March 24, 2006 Author Share Posted March 24, 2006 ah well sounds like it would still be a worth while block and head to use for my l28et conversion . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeiss150 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Well, I don't even know what a patrol Z is but if it has an F54 block and an N42 head and flat top pistons it'll have a CR of 9.82:1 wich is a pretty good CR for a NA Z. If it has dished pistons then the CR is 8.29:1 which would be almost perfect for turbo but crappy for N/A. If you're going the N/A way put a set of 240z SU's on there and you'll have what I have, a pretty fast N/A Z. Keep in mind I have no idea what A patrol Z is ... so all of the above info may be bull $hit. good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBeaut Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Nissan Patrol = 4x4 Early SUV truck thing, not Z related in anyway. Cheers, Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stagefumer11 Posted March 25, 2006 Author Share Posted March 25, 2006 i could possibly make a high compression turbo. if i can get enough fuel in there. Unless someone else can beg to differ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
