There's nothing remotely stock about this type of build. LD28s converted to gas are like snowflakes...each one is a unique. Even just mating a LD crank and 280Z block with 240 rods requires special machining at the skirts of each cylinder and there's numerous compression combos that come from pistons, deck shaving, crazy thick head gaskets, etc. Then chose what head to flow and induction type-F.I. w/ 1 or 2 turbos, triple Webers, Clifford 4 barrel, etc. 300-400+hp is attainable=$
oh sorry! lol why should I have cranked it so long ? I could care less if it starts first try or not. If I cared I could have taken that out of the video! anyways motor is out and is in a datsun 810 now. :)
It's a ld28 block and crank. Block was heavily modified to work with a gasoline head. I used the ld28 bloc so I could fit a longer rod. people that use diesel crank in combo with l28 block can only run 5.24 240z rods. With the ld28 block and diesel crank i can run the 6 inch z20 rod. Better Rod/Stroke Ratio! :)
Got any incar vids? Does this beast pull good?

You at Daft Innovations should have started that engine much harder...you should have cranked it for at least five seconds or more!

CamHenlin, it's a L28 with a taller LD28 block...

yes your correct! 90mm ka24 pistons, z20 rods, yada yada yada!

That's definitely not an LD28, looks like a regular L-series with triples.
