L28 – Old & Busted to Hot New Sh%t

Simtec Motorsports, known for his vivid sheet metal works and off the wall creativity contacted me to start an L28 build for a RHD 280Z that he was restoring for a client of his.  The car being a RHD was immediately ushered into the class of high end detail with total renewed paneling to make the chassis as new as possible with faint ques on performance.

Where I came in was on the power plant.  This L series needed a much needed revamp on power with a quality approach to new parts and services.  So I began to sit down and draw out a full engine design on custom pistons suited for this application as well as needing the acclaimed P90 head casting to ensure detonation and tuning weren’t going to be subsided with a flaw in cylinder head design.

Moving forward to today, the short block is completed and the cylinder head is on the chopping block for a valve job and chamber blending.  More details are to come!
