badjuju Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Hey all, after finding my 280zxt (msns-e) was leaking from the main seal about three months ago, I parked it and bought a 73 240. Last night I spun a bearing. Yay. Anyhow, my plan is this: Buy an l28 bottom end Swap my head, mani's, turbo, and ms setup into my 240 Drive it like hell. just wanted to let everyone know that i'll probably be getting back into the scene.

badjuju Posted March 15, 2007 Author Share Posted March 15, 2007 I've been told by Oliver at Z specialties that the rear main is easily swappable from the outside once the tranny is removed, and that the bottom end of my motor having 290k miles is a non issue. The head was rebuilt 15k or so ago, so I'm now thinking i'm just gonna plop my 5speed onto the l28et, throw it into my s30 and roll. Plop, Throw, and roll.

linluv84 Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Indeed, do all the work (including the tranny) and install it as one piece. I spent a good chunk of last weekend fighting the pilot bushing. Ended up pulling the motor back out and mating up the tranny on the floor... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
