Z24 NAP-Z engine from 1986 720 PU, $150

Buy it, sell it, negotiate, haggle, drag it out from under the workbench or behind the garage and make it someone else's problem!

Z24 NAP-Z engine from 1986 720 PU, $150

This is the engine from the yellow "Arlington Truck" which is getting repowered to an SD. I'm running a CL ad too:

I am converting this pickup to diesel power.

I bought the truck as a non-runner, but after replacing the ignition rotor, it fired up and runs well. It had obviously been sitting a good while. It starts right up very well now. I just drove it ten miles today, and it'll pull 70 fine (speed limit out here is 50).

I do not need the engine or clutch, radiator, starter, alternator, battery cables, and fuel tank. I'd like to find a new home for them. Come drive it, and if you want the engine, I'll pull it and load it into your truck or trailer for you.

Engine with all accessories = $150
Radiator = $20

No obvious leaks anywhere, no oil dripping, no coolant leaking. A little smoke on startup. This is the NAP-Z engine with eight spark plugs and two ignition coils -- you get the coils too.

This is a carbureted engine, not fuel-injected. It has a computer-feedback carb (I think). It starts up a bit rich, and idles a bit lean. Sometimes it stalls at idle. The vacuum hoses are all antique, and I'd recommend replacing them. Or convert to a Weber carb :)

The truck is showing 315k miles on the odo. The engine doesn't sound like it. I don't see any smoke coming out the back when driving. I have done nothing to this engine except clean it and replace the rotor, so you'll want to change the oil and plugs I'm sure.

If nobody wants the complete engine with all accessories, I may consider selling off the starter & alternator separately. This engine was used in Nissan 720 Pickups from 1980 to 1986 with carburetors, and with fuel-injection sometime after that. The transmission is not available.

Tenatively, it's sold. I have one person committed, and one who will buy it if No. 1 doesn't.
