Does anyone know of an engine builder
In W.A. That can build a decent L series?
Thought I'd ask before I send it east.
Cheers.

How much do you want to spend on the engine?
What spec are you planning?

Hey lampy,
Well certainly not to the specs of yours.... :shock:
I have a l18w block a87 head and a set
Of 45 webbers. Hot street motor, occasional
Track/ climb event, moneys not an issue,
Will need machining/head work done (standard motor)
or will even buy a built engine if one pops up. The 1600
Won't be a daily driver.
How's yours coming along? Can't wait to see her humm :thumbsup:

Not too many good l series builders in WA
That is why i send mine to the eastern states.

Have you thought about giving it a go yourself. It not too hard. The head will have to be done by a professional to get good power

I potentially might have a good head for sale. Flows enough for 233hp
Its all set up and ready to bolt to a bottom end

What inlet manifold do you have? datrally/powerplay?

Tony Flood at floodmotorsport.com.au would be my recommendation, be worth a few $$ though. Ex Datsun pilot with a soft spot for these old motors.

(sort of affiliated, been spannering on his personal competition cars since the late 90's)
