L28 Head/Block Combinations in Australia

I have a question relating to the L28 with an N42 head.

People are telling me the N42 head is off a Nissan Patrol, while I know the patrol came with the L28, did the 280ZX ever come with the N42 head in Australia. I, nor the guy before me knows where the motor in my car comes from so I am trying to track down its origins.

 

For the record the motor is:

N42 block

Flat top pistons

N42 head (with FI notches on the intake holes)

 

When I received the car it had FI. If I was to get an N42 head from a Patrol (provided I used my old cam and rockers) would need to make any changes to put it on the L28 in my car (i.e. would it be any different from a 280ZX one).

 

Cheers

I'm not sure about Oz but nearly every ZX (except the really late ones) in NZ came with the N42/N42 combo. Only thing I can think of that you might need to change is putting a block off plate over where the fuel pump goes, I think all of those Patrol motors were single carb weren't they?
