Help with L26 info.

Hello, I'm new to the forum.
I don't own a Z, but I do run a Datsun 260C saloon which has the L26 engine (later used in the Z's). I cannot find any information pertaining to this engine and I desperately would like to remove the engine and give it the 'once over', but knowing nothing about them I though it prudent to gather information and advice before I started!!

So, can anyone help me with informations, book, recommended readin, etc please?

Thanks

Hmmmm, if it was me I'd be wanting to give it a bit more 'go'.

Does a 260C run carb's or injection (i'm guessing single carb')

I'd find a good engine from a 280ZX, junk the injection, fit 240Z twin carbs, Janspeed exhaust manifold, K&N filters and you've probably got 180BHP - ish ? Q-car or what !

Look in the Zshop section at the books.

"How to rebuild your L-series" and "How to modify your L-series" would be a good start.

I'm happy with just the 2.6 for the moment! It is a single carb. I'll check out the books - thanks!
