badjuju Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Not a burn thread. Not a burn thread. Not a burn thread. I emailed a guy named "Datsun Parts" on ebay about a motor he had up for sale. He called me and we talked about him building me an l28et. He said "around 2k plus shipping" I asked for a sheet describing everything the "around $2k" figure would cover. He emailed me this: ---------------------------- Engine includes complete long block. F54 block with new .50mm oversized ITM Brand Dished Pistons with rings New set of Felpro gaskets New timing set new rod and crank bearings new freeze plugs deck surfaced painted to the color of your choice hot tank cleaned reassembled P90 head includes 3 angle valve job polished crank new guides new valve seals new valve seats new water pump new oil pump valve cover and oil pan included -------- Does the above fall under what has been described here: http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=127084 as "Will put up with 300 rwhp"? It seems to make sense from what I can gather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks280zt Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Thats pretty high, I think you would be better to find a good used l28et with good compression across the board and invest your savings into your 300hp quest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 fast z Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 If he does things the RIGHT way, thats WAAAAAAAAAY cheap in my opinion. Over a grand in parts, and lots of labor. BUT most people dont check everything there supposed to, ie. bearing clearences, piston clearences, guide clearences, quench distance, piston to valve clearence, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badjuju Posted November 7, 2007 Author Share Posted November 7, 2007 I had searched rather diligently for a used l28et in my area, and it makes me really nervous to consider purchasing a used motor so far away. Frankly it concerns me buying any motor so far away, but I'm much more comfortable with a rebuilt motor. Does anyone foresee any problems with getting this much power out of this setup? Or more importantly, does anyone foresee problems with this setup as far as stock reliability is concerned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in, I imagine if there wasn't enough piston to valve clearance I'd find out right away, like within the warranty period, yeah? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
