jintu Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Hi im new and from south africa . Ny Z24 was shot so i got a L28 cause it would bolt on .It s bolted together but the motor originally sits to the left ,but if i had to do that my transfer box and gear levers are way skew.Seems the boxs differed with bolt patterns. Why are these motors built to sit to the left. So If i run the motor straight up would it be a problem with the oil feed or carb float level.Otherwise i must run the boxs skew and bend gear levers and fill with more oil.So please i hope someone can help .

Devil-Z Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 They are canted slightly to allow a lower hood line in the Z. I don't see a problem mounting it straight up and down. Though I am surpised that it fit in a hard body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAW Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 The L-Z (and KA) series have a different installed angle altogether and you can't put a stock L-Z or KA trans directly to your 4 or 6 cyl L engine without the shifter being off to an extreme angle for that same reason. You should be able to fix it using the appropriate engine mounts though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jintu Posted May 8, 2007 Author Share Posted May 8, 2007 Fix what, the gear levers being skew ,i was going to leave it like that and keep the engine mounts level.Would u rather run boxs skew or motor(straight up ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nismopu Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 just swap an L-series bell housing onto your current tranny and you will need some machine work done to the bellhousing but it wont cost much or take to much time. Basically just need to make the bearing race larger to except the truck tranny's main shaft bearing. peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
