What about a L28 ex 280ZX?

To fit a RB, I'm told that all that is required is a R31 cross-member. You might need a custom gearbox cross-member.

The L28 is already fuel injected - doesn't need the L24 stuff.

79 on 280ZX was EFI in Oz and if your looking at n/a, the best bits are N42, but the block has to be modified to front sump as all zeds are rear sump pans.

Don't be fooled, the old L28, makes good power if modified a bit.

A stock RB30E is rated at 114kW at the fly and an L28E is rated at about 103kW so there isn't heaps in it.

Yes! All L series motors have identical external dimensions.

This is true, but there is no clearance from the sump to the x-member. Thats what i had found in my case.
So you can do it this way, it does work, but no one will engineer it. So technically you will never be able to register that car.

maybe... mine has ample clearance, it all comes down to the angle the motor sits on.. i cant c why it cannot be engineerd as there is no welding or modifications to the crossmember or the mounts..

ne way just got a blue slip wit rb25 numbers so to the untrained the motor came out in that car. true ?
