woldson Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I believe that a new/used engine will not be of any great benifit to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S130Z Posted May 21, 2008 Author Share Posted May 21, 2008 why do you believe that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woldson Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Because if your compression test across the board is the same, your engine may be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S130Z Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 very true. i also want to do a summer project and build a high compression motor, do you think one out of a junk yard is feasable? there are about 5 280zx's in my local junkyard and i was thinking about pulling one.

GLENN280ZX Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Roger is still selling. See him on a regular basis..and you are correct, he is selling everthing he can and is storing parts also.he still has the largest collection of documented Z's in the states. Check the property behind his house. He is trying to change his means of work...but he is still going to sell Z parts as a sideline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if you are still looking. I'm in Columbia, SC as well. I have a 1983 280zx L28 auto, I would be willing to sell you the motor for $500. It runs great.
