Outer Limits 4x4 Board

hi all a mate of mine has cracked his head on his l28 and in doin so shagged his engine
now ive been looking for a replacement l28 which is hard as to find!!!
today we had a customer who is into 4wd's and conversions and stuff and he said that a rb30 will bolt up no hassles is he bullsh#$%#ing me or is it true
mind you he said no adapters needed but i doubt that hope someone knows cheers all

I thought the L series had different mounting setups to the RB30. Though I could be wrong.....

Coxy

Rb30 can be converted to fit but it isnt straight forward...

mate L28 engines are easy as piss to find.... every man and there dog has them.... your not ringing the right places...

they are like the most common 4x4 engine in the patrol series...

just ring 4x4 wreckers or even ppl off this board if you put a wanted up would more than likley have one sitting somewhere....

keep an eye on ebay also

that is what im thinkin ill have to borow a blockand see if it lines up with a gearbox i have

I would buy a second hand vl commodore, scrap the commodore and keep the rb30 motor fuel injected out of it, someone should be able to wire it up you would rekon.

Beer talking, I meant to say, I'm not a greedy man

and a pic, before it came off the chassis

Hoppy11, you live and learn, I have never seen the manual with the remote transfer case, all the manuals I have seen had the standard one. I new the auto used the remote transfer case as I have one. I would be interested to find out how far from centre the crankshaft is to the chassis or how far from centre the output of the gearbox to the chassis.
Can you tell me what year model it was?

It was an 84 MK deluxe wagon

ive seen and owned for that matter, quite a few patrol wagons that have been manuel with the divorsed T case....
they are pretty common in the MK series...

And I have owned more than a few - all the L28 wagons I have owned have the divorced transfer in them.... P40 has the normal mated sytle like the diesel etc... it makes for easy engine swaps and what have you though...
