Which is the best L-series or Z-series motor to build.

[kjz71521]

I have found out that It will be hard to do my airbagg setup in the front of my 521 with a sr20det motor in the bay so im going with a smaller motor like a l-series or a z-series motor. Which would be the best one to build guys ? can I get some help with what I need to buy and what motor would be suggested.

 

Im looking for daily dependablity and strong motor to build that I can also tow my jet ski's to Laughlin this summer with out the motor overheating or what ever. Can I get some suggestions as far as what would be best for this application.:confused:

 

thanks alot !:D

Is cost a factor?

Chevy Duramax!!!!

Oh you said cost is a factor, But so is a SR20 ,airbags and all that stuff.

Is this a Oxymoron joke.?

 

Best is to find a strong L series build or LZ hybrid but this is still costly.Unless somebody has a motor sitting ready to go.

 

Cheap is a stock L20 with a 3 core Radiator

 

The 521 is geared low so top end would be limited

 

 

PS I dont think it will be done by next summer

Heinz, of course I saw the airbag and so on but most ppl. don't consider the whole cost factor when modifying their cars. That's why you see too many on Craigslist , like "my loss your gain, loss interest and money"

I know fabricators who will do my install for cheap. but I am having space problems with the airbagg setup up front. No this is not a joke I need some suggestions.

and this is why i think about shooting myself, KIDDING EVERYONE! this is what i get so mad about, not that you all dont.

fuck the L series bullshit, you're already going all out on putting bags on the truck, so spend the money and put a ka24 in that bitch.

 

The L16 or 20 would be fine, but if you plan on towing and having something easy to drive and work on, the ka would be a good bet. I've had several; including the one in my truck and love them.

 

It should fit just fine and give you plenty of space for bags, I should know, I mounted one in a bagged NL320.

i'm not gonna repeat these guys but if u got the stock gearing i'd go with the L16 so it can rev to the moon

just drive your dtruck the way it is

I hate for Jeff to pick up another unfinnished project in the near future.

 

You said minimum cost. Keeping the L series is the minimum cost.
