Surfdog’s 71 240

Up on lift PB blasting all our fasteners

SurfDog · 02-10-2019, 07:52 PM

... and yet all the exhaust hanger bolts still stripped. (Well most.)

I started with aftermarket badly heat corroded exhaust to test different ways of getting the fasteners apart without damage. I hope to reuse as many OEM fasteners as I can.

Rearranged shop to make room on parts shelves for all my disassembled bits.

Dinner and research!

L28 engine pull and tear down today

Whew she’s rough

Rusty · 02-13-2019, 10:33 PM

Oh helll. That motor is good for another 100,000 miles. Just button it back up.

SurfDog · 02-13-2019, 10:48 PM

I’m going to get her torn down the rest of the way, milled out and Painted up nice and pretty. She’ll be making 250 hp in no time! Bored and stroked to 3.0, Webber’s cams! She’s a runner!

Options for motor (from robello)

I’m thinking the “true 3.0” option with triple Webber’s 9.8-10 compression and a mild cam. I want good power but better street manners. Electric fuel pump and regular should make it a nice motor.

I'm looking at the 3.2 Big Bore.

The VQ350 making 490HP/330 Torque?

Is it turbo'ed?

I’m taking all these numbers with a huge grain of salt. lol. I’ll obviously dyno tune this thing one day and post results. This is a long term project so... don’t hold your breath.

Need to port and polish the head, Unshroud the valves, etc. It is hard to find a good L28 head porter. They are getting up in the years.

SurfDog · 02-14-2019, 07:52 PM

I think I’ll try out robello for all that. They seem pretty knowledgeable and built this motor for my buddy.

It makes great power. (Was expensive though)

All restorations/upgrades tend to be that way. Looking forward to how this turns out.

SurfDog · 02-15-2019, 08:27 PM

More teardown.

That one is stuck

Got it

. Whew big day.

You're not wasting any time.
