i have a n47 that needs the valves and springs etc. but seats and guides are new. its fully machined and squared up. plus its been magnafluxed and checked out. used to be on my car for a little while, but i changed up to a p79 for ultimate power and flow. i dont even know what its worth, but the hard part would be shipping it. i also have non-checked out n47's and a virgin e31 that only seen 30,000 miles, no machining

I have a spare L28et I bought from a HybridZ member about 2 or 3 years ago. Supposed to have ~128K. I took the head off to inspect the block and it looks good, but I've never personally ran the motor. The head is ok too, but will need a new rear water outlet piece since the one that came with it is corroded beyond use. The engine has been sitting in my garage just waiting for a purpose.

I'll dig around my spare parts bin because I know I have a set of ARP head studs that I barely used that can go with the motor. I think I have a spare intake manifold and some other small bits and pieces that can go with the engine.

ah if i go 30"x8"x8" and 40 lbs its about 70 bux shipped to cali. i only estimated the size and weight by judgement so it may actually be more or less.

I have no idea what the going rate is for an L28 these days. I bought the engine for $380, but pm me an offer. More than likely I'll say yes. I did find the spare turbo intake manifold over the weekend. Don't know what all you would want though, however we can work on all the details later haha.
