Building & Assembling our Indestructible L28 Engine! | Datsun 280z Restoration
➢LEGENDS MEDIA STORE: legends.media/ ONI DROP IS NOW LIVE!!
Thanks to @meguiars for powering the 280z build series.
In today's video we head to Erick's Racing to finally assemble our fully built L28 engine. We dropped this off about 7 months ago to get the head machined and the block built. Today it is finally done. We put together our Rods & pistons, crank, bearings, and more. The bottom end of the L28 is complete, now all we have to do is build the head!

Ouch. Wrong color, but this is the quality of work I expect from his channel 🤣
Always great to watch people who are good at what they do. Especially when you can tell that Eric really enjoys the work. He makes it looks so easy.
You can tell Eric looks forward to waking up and getting into the shop each and every day. The passion is unreal and the quality of his work further proves he absolutely loves what he does! This is awesome to watch
I assume Erick specd all the parts can you ask him why he’s using those cheap rods? I would love to know the reason behind that on a build such as this which is supposed to be reliability and those aren’t exactly known for that.

Literally my first thought. I've heard of a couple people who know their shit using these in there Z's but I just couldn't sleep at night cutting that corner lol
Sounds like he's going for a devil z build from wagan midnight with the z
Man this is so awesome, ive been designing engine parts in my CAD course for my engineering undergrad and to see and know whats being put together physically is so cool! Thank you for documenting the process of the engine assembly!
Erick is just amazing, makes me feel proud of the country we were born 🇸🇻♥️. Salvadoran pride 🇸🇻. #madeittotheend

so satisfying seeing someone like Eric building a engine who knows what they are doing watching him do it is like watching me doing the same seeing him using the old school ring compressor made me miss my dad since his set was so banged up after being used since the 50s to assemble so many engine in his years to when i started doing the same with them that i had to get new ones to replace the old set. and yeah doing a engine takes time to get everything right so they are power making monsters.
When an artist and a mechanic collide, an Erick is created. Was real satisfying watching him do his labour of love. Can’t wait to hear this motor sing!
Yoo this brings back memories assembling engines in school, especially seeing someone like Eric builing the L28. #madeittotheend
I love how Erick is smiling throughout the build process
Eric clearly loves what he does, he looked so happy working and I can trust that man to do it right
Watching Eric build the engine was very satisfying! Sungs Z looks badass, and if your motor looks like that it will be so sweet! Tiana is one lucky woman! Vip order placed! Have fun in Houston. #VIP #madeittotheend
so satisfying seeing Erick reassembling the motor. Wonderful!
So I recently purchased a 260z and seeing this process like this is greatly appreciated, because you did not miss a single step in this video! and really I know I will come back to this video if I need a little guidance. Sometimes it's great to watch an "evolution" occur without all the "Internet Influencer Reaction" bits. Thanks for this Dustin and Eric! This is some good-good quality stuff! I am an amateur and I am now excited to tackle my dream build!
The "Z" rules them all. I live your cooking on this build after all these years!
I cannot believe this man painted the block Tiffany Blue
Nothings more satisfying than watching a master at work. Love the process. AWESOME VIDEO can’t wait to hear the 280
Yes to the cam!!!
I love ITB's. Gives a nice sound and makes the throttle bodies so responsive.
It's so cool, I am so happy too 😁
Love the Wangan reference, it's a pretty slept on anime. Can't wait to see the Z finished. #madeittotheend
Its satisfying to see
This video was so cool Eric made it look easy and you could really tell that he loves his job it was so satisfying watching him work on this. Keep up the good work Dustin
Erick’s Racing legends of building engines!!!
Pay attention and see the man smiling at his job bro tht true love for working on cars
#MadeItToTheEnd!! The Z is turning out awesome! Can't wait to see it all back together and see what wheels you and/or Tiana pick out for it. They better be some THICC meats with those super-wide fender flares, lol.
Dustin saying “so we basically have the entire engine laid out right here” 😂😂
Great VLOG I can’t wait for the 280 to come alive .
Can’t wait to see the 280 done! One lucky lady there! Best daily driver?! Great channel Dustin! Hoping you’ll be able to get to Japan soon!
Why did Dustin leave his wife out of the intro?

Damn. My Datsun has an L28 and I was looking to eventually swap it but now I’m like damn, should I just build it haha.

Time fly so fast it's been 7 months since i started watching your videos even though i know you already since 2019 when i watched one video of you in japan. Not a consistent supporter right? Haha but still i become a supporter of yours and treating you as one of my inspirations a i'm finishing my college degree. Keep inspiring others Dustin every one loves you. Your big fan from Philippines. ☺️ #madeittotheend

Eiiii Dut knows Wangan Midnight! You play that game too bro?
I’m not into the cars you are per say however you have vision, drive and as a Motorsports enthusiast I totally respect you also produce some insane content. I could be your dad that’s why the age difference doesn’t matter your never to young or old mad respect for you and your team. Dustin I have a great street car 2015 mustang 670/560 to the wheel if and when I could afford a GTR that’s one vehicle would be in my shop your 35 build in my opinion epic.
Have a great day Dustin. Fantastic vlog video.
Any updates on the STi giveaway?
