I'm embarking on an engine swap in my Nissan Patrol (build thread will be updated when I start). Currently it has a Nissan L28 2.8 litre straight six petrol engine, as found in the Datsun Z cars in differing capacities.
I understand that the 2.8 is used quite a lot as an upgrade to get more power, so I think this engine is worth a decent amount to the right buyer... the question is, how much?
It's relatively low mileage at around 95000ish, been really well looked after and it runs silky smooth. I've owned the Patrol for about 6 years and it's always ran spot on. My Patrol is a really well preserved example, I did a light body resto and respray on it a few years ago and it's really clean underneath so I reckon the mechanicals have been equally well looked after.
Does anyone have an idea on what I should ask for it? Or places that I can look and possibly advertise it? I've looked for Datsun Z Facebook groups but the busy ones seem to be USA-based.
I'd be looking to sell it with all ancillaries.
Thanks
