L28s are in the Nissan "Z" cars
260Z have the L26 which fit as well
The 260C Nissans , again the L26
The 280C have the L28
The later end L28 powered "Z" cars run EFI and even turbo
L28 in a rod, well why not
Something different,many use ol Holden 6s,why not an L28
Besides they in factory form , eat Holden red 6s for breakky
And i already have it here
The engine is just a stock l28 with electric ignition
Sitting in an old patrol,it was only stripped as the parts were used for another (My ute)
And the diffs and remote transfer were sold
So i could whip out wack a battery in it and start it

RIP - valued member and true gentleman of this forum that will be missed by many!
mine used to rev enthusiastically and drink as much fuel as the 4.2 in the GQ :-)
And the aircon added appreciably to engine braking.
Kept us out in front of the group we used to tootle about with - they reckoned if our old MQ Wagon Buttercup could get there, so could they :-)

L28s arent reknown for their economy, thats for sure
Especially in a 3 tonne patrol
I knew a bloke who with an AUTO L28 MQ was getting 5KS to the Litre
Thats worst than a TB42
L28s do love to rev
Ive seen 6,000 rpm not a problem
