sure you dont mean a h model? if so yes it will fit, i think all you have to do is take off the trermostat housing and turn it round

The guy said it was an '88 G model engine when he pm'd me, I thought he ment H too but then he was on about the cams been closer to sp than the L? Researching on here I found some old post about the G model too. Will have to get in touch with him a clarify it and get back to ye, thanks lads

the 88 zx400g model engine will bolt into an L frame.
they don't run an oil cooler, and you will need to use the ignition pick up off your old engine.

good luck, stuzx4r.

Thanks for that Stu, that sorts that. At least I know now you can make the H or the G work

I've got an L model engine for sale :smt003

0.5mm over size, base gasket removed, total loss (starter retained), new head, pickup, generator (and possibly sump) gaskets, standard head and shims just done.

Let me know if you're interested.
