parting out an LD28...
Hey guys. I'm looking at parting out a whole LD28. The crankshaft is spoken for and I'm going to use the block and timing cover **EDIT**(NEVER MIND, WHOLE MOTOR FOR SALE). Everything can go. I don't really want to ship the cast iron head though unless you want to pay all the shiping...
Just wanted to give y'all the heads up instead of tossing the stuff.

Re: parting out an LD28...
Hello, Dan:
Can you tell us where you are, so we can judge/calculate the shipping ourselves? Thanks!
Personally, I buy & stash:
Other like used LD28 intake manifolds, used glow plugs.

Do you know which year? It's hard to tell the '81-82 apart, but the '83 has a different oil cooler (pic 1, at bottom of post) (pic 2) with an extra hose, and the IP has a different Cold Start Device.olderthanme wrote:I'm looking at parting out a whole LD28.
We all appreciate it.Just wanted to give y'all the heads up instead of tossing the stuff.
Personally, I buy & stash:
- alternators (and the vacuum pump hoses!)
- starters
- injection pumps
- harmonic balancers
- torque dampers
- GP temp sensor on the thermostat housing
- injectors
- oil cooler/filter base assy (1983 only)

I am in Atlanta, GA.
The engine is supposedly a 1983.
It has 118,000 miles on it.
I am checking for interest for this engine as it is just down the street at the local yard.
If I know there is interest in the parts I'll pick the motor up and start stripping it down.
I'm another Z car guy but I figured that I would rather not leave a gutted LD28 to waste when y'all could use the stuff.

I'm interested. I might even be willing to make a trip down to Atlanta to pick up the heavier items (head and block). Al's list is pretty much the must save list of shippable stuff. Thanks for trying to keep this stuff from being melted down!

Matt, Dan's keeping the block.
I do have a need for a spare valve cover.
I assume that you are contemplating buying the whole engine from the JY (if you can resell the parts you don't need). Put me down for the VC for $10 + whatever shipping is (probably +$15-20). I will want it shipped to an address on your coast, not way over here.

goglio704, If you do want the block I'll sell it to you. I don't really need the stuff taking up the space around here. I just have a project that wil require an LD block as a starting base.
asavage, What is a VC?, I can have the valve cover powdercoated for an extra $70. check http://www.thepowdercoater.com . Very good stuff. I have had a gas L6 valve cover and a gas L4 valve cover both powdercoated by him and they are awesome!
I'll try to grab that hose for you.
He also did my engine block in color shifting prismatic black.
Should be getting the motor in a week or so.

I'm going to violate my own "max width" rule for these pics. I am just too tired to download, resize, and host these right now.
I think I'm going to have one done in that green. And an SD VC too.
Does your guy do this kind of thing?

Yes Mike at the powdercoater.com can do all of those and make them look just as good. He has this metalflake red that just looks incredible!!
I think something like that that silver vein would be great on an LD valve cover.
Mike can do any color under the rainbow. He can even color match the paint on your car. (He'll probably need something with the car's paint so he can properly match it)
If you look at me engine the valve cover has the prismatic black and then a powder clearcoat. The block just has the prismatic black. The clearcoat really brings out the depth in the paint...(Mike did lots of his L28 engine stuff in candy green)
Here is his personal two color valve cover
and a 240z valve cover
and a wrinkle black L28ET valve cover
he mostly does Corvette brakes...
Lots of candy red...
Just check out the gallery on his site for more examples of his work

Sorry, I was speed reading and didn't catch the fact that you need the block. I don't really need a block (or a head), but I don't want another one to get melted down either.

Al, would you happen to know how much the High Gloss/Super Chrome coating job would cost on a 6 cylinder valve cover? The powdercoating jobs do really come out nice and it's really tempting to get it done. LOL.

I want to send money their way because they've done a superiour communication job in their auctions, and they answer email. However, I have several things I want powercoated and I don't mind spreading the work around.

Hey guys...
Just picked up the motor and it is in pretty good shape!
118,000 miles
Was run for only 7 years from 83 to 90. It has been in a warehouse ever since.
I have the intake, black tube off the intake, exhaust manifold, complete fuel injection setup, block, head, random tubes and some hoses, valve cover with rubber gasket, and pretty much everyhting else.
Let me know what you need.
THE CRANKSHAFT AND CONNECTING RODS ARE CURRENTLY SPOKEN FOR.
