WTB: Datsun 280Z 2.8L I6 and 5 spd

[agentalpha]

Wuttup?

Bought my Z finally, a SOLID 1973 240z.

 

I am looking for a 2.8 and a 5 spd.

Looking mfor a P79(or so) block, with flattops.

With the N42 head I have, will give me @ 10-1 compression.

 

Found some at pick your part in hayward,

but they are way too high on price,

esp with the work and effort trying to get a motor out of their yard.

 

Bastards charge 2 bucks just to walk in as well,

then "no comprende" :fu:when you ask anyone for help...

Yeah, some injectors found their way into the intercooler off a SC T-Bird.

Glad they did, as the guy quoted me $150 for all the stuff,

and after 2 hours, and a rounded bolt, they jacked me for $250.

Felt like walking away, but after all the BS,

and how CLEAN the rotors were on that M90,

I just bought it.

 

Needless to say, I really don't want to buy from them again.

 

There IS a few 150,000 mile P47 blocks in there, and a 5 spd.

But they quoted me 100 just for the short block, and 80 for the trans.,

on a "50% off" day.

 

Which is what they should be @ everyday.

 

God I hate Pick Your Part.

That's the name of the place.

This is why I only shop at pick yer part on the half off days. I scout the day before, hide the good stuff in lame american vehicles and get it the next day for half price. Other wise I avoid te joint. I think you can get beter quality parts at other yards for not much more.

where you at bro?

 

Fill out the Location in your profile, PLEASE!

[agentalpha]

Good Idea.

Might have to do that.

And I guess if they want to be scandalous to customers,

my Karma is clear.

 

 

 

There ya go. Does that help?

 

lol

^ guy on hybrid Z is sellin a N42/N47 L28 in LA

[agentalpha]

Even if he gives me a killer deal, the shipping would destroy the benefit.

Found a N/A P47/F54 engine and 5 speed in a yard...

 

Let's see if they're there when I get the chance to go back...

Like 3 weeks:mad:

 

:lol:

hopefully no one grabs it before you get back, i got my L28et out of the yard to

[agentalpha]

A local guy just offered his 2.8L.

Sounds like a killer deal,

removed for V8.

Even pro built close ratio 5 spd.

 

Wish me luck...

[agentalpha]

No Dice,

Still searching.

 

And I think I would prefer an N42 Block
