finding an L-series
So after breaking that head bolt and trying everything i can think of besides blowing it out with a torch and drilling it out and installing a helicoil, i'm thinking it might be just a good excuse to upgrade to the L28E or L28ET. A turbo manual first gen wagon would be a pretty cool sleeper. (Not that I really have enough money to go for the turbo.) Does anyone have a good idea on where to find one of these engines? i'm in arizona and i haven't checked any salvage yards yet, but i've checked online without any luck.

Yeah, I found an l28et, the turbo motor off of a 280zx for $400. This seems like a good deal so i'm going to check it out and try to get the ecu, head, manifolds and turbo, maf, and injectors. Anything else i should look for/consider first? Hopefully i can find someone with a truck to get there.
