HRH Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 From back to crank pulley/water pump pulley on front of motor. Anything L6 if you could go out and measure your Z or what have you. I don't have any spare 6 cylinder motors to measure, only 4s. Quote Link to comment
Sealik Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 Measured the L6 a while back to fit my 720. 28ish" rings a bell. Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted December 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 Are you sure? I think that's about what the KADE measures, I seem to recall. Quote Link to comment

HRH Posted December 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 Wuss!!! :D Tomorrow is fine. I'll probably try to hop on Ratsun sometime during Christmas even and check. I'm disappointed, all our snow here was rained away. Boooo. No white Christmas sucks. Quote Link to comment

Anything L6 if you could go out and measure your Z or what have you. I don't have any spare 6 cylinder motors to measure, only 4s. looks like 30 1/2 to the front of the double crank pulley and about 31 inches to the front of the water pump pulley bolts it never rains in California so you got your measurement :fu: :fu: :fu: :fu: :fu: :fu: :fu: :fu: Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 Oh god an L28 turbo in an ice racer..... 1 Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted December 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 Nothing.....yet. :) Frick, I wish I could find a whole L28 turbo for cheap. Every one that rolls into pns already has the motor yanked. I do have a turbo, but it would be nice to have all the factory plumbing. Quote Link to comment
EricJB Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 I had the whole set up. I tried to dump it here in the classifieds for $125.00 for over a year. I finally found a taker for $80.00. 130k on the clock. I think DTP is parting one out. Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted December 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 Seriously? How did I miss that? Oh yeah, I haven't looked at the classifieds since the change. Well, and I hadn't thought much about it until recently too. Oh well. Quote Link to comment
Driftease Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 I wish it would fit an l28 in a d21 im stuck with the ka and i dont feel like buying forged pistons for my turbo setup and the ringlands wont handle it (found out the hard way). I just dont want to spend that much money on the truck cause i want to get my Z done and have extra l28s yes plural Quote Link to comment

Plan is to 'hide' it in one of my brush guard bumpers That said...motor mounts, bell housing and OP are a given Quote Link to comment
Driftease Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 I thought about that but my intentions for this truck have changed from performance to reliability I have too many vehicles im working on now and the truck will never be fun to drive (on the road) even with the turbo. Another option i thought of was a vg30et with a v6 gearbox but still more money than I am willing to spend on it and the 4x4 v6 gearboxes are scarce around here. Quote Link to comment
Farmer Joe Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 matt, you thinkin about puttin a L28 in the white D21? is that what im pickin up here? lol Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted January 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Nope, was thinking about the red truck. Haven't decided yet. Quote Link to comment
LenRobertson Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 It is certainly a relief to find out the L6 is for one of the trucks. Ever since you started this thread I've been worried about the fate of your 510. I didn't think you'd do that to your hapless 510, but I wasn't sure. I can sleep easily now! I saw in another of your threads something about Kabota Orange paint and an engine bay. So is your 510 being prepped for something other than an L6? I'm very much looking forward to that build thread. Len 1 Quote Link to comment
Farmer Joe Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 the red truck eh? now thats a weird one to put it in... isnt an L28 rated at almost the same as a KA? Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted January 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Didn't even see you post that Len! The 510 is getting the KA24DE, been working like mad on it, getting closer, small steps. The L28 is rated probably 20 more than the stock KA24E, the big draw is having a big long torquey crankshaft. Plus it would just be cool. Haven't decided yet thought. It's probably a long ways off.
