Thanks John, I read you have to do a bit of clearancing to get it to fit. Is that right?

LD28's on ebay

Well here are a couple of interesting posts on a Facebook page I can’t seem to link to which speak of the LD block and the R L35. The post was about an N/A 10.3 second quartermile car and someone was asking what is the most known RWHP of L series NA motors.
10 second car link below. Not sure what engine it is but for anyone who knows him, it’s Eichi Ito’s car before his recent crash ...
Here’s an older version of his engine’s dyno sheet

288 at the wheels(rebello HP so circa 28.2 real hp) 
Ignoring the headline figure, look how boring that curve is.

The bonnet clearance is the usual deal breaker with the LD block. Also, LD blocks are only 84.5mm bore. Overboring only gets you to 86-87mm max, so for really big bore for stuff well above 3.1, the only route is liners. And a custom billet crank with big stroke (85/86mm). V07 crank from an LD28 won't cut it I'm afraid (not without welding, offset grinding, etc. and even then its still a lardy great truck crank). For the vast majority who fantasize about 3.35-3.5 engines, the financial effort to achieve that result is powerfully dissuasive....
Besides, that Datsunworks head that gets mentioned above would give you plenty of kickass sitting on top a comparatively "ordinary" 3.1-3.2L stroker tbh! But you're still talking £££££ cylinder head sitting on a ££££ bottom end.
The above Facebook comments also make me want to bash my head against the wall. Rebello HP fantasy figures and talk of 91 octane (i.e. ubershit street gas)...

I had a good look at the RISING car in Japan back in 2018. Very impressive engineering:
Wow Alan! There is some serious engineering / cash / love under that bonnet. I just knew you would have knowledge of this car!!
[emoji106][emoji106]It’s actually the first black engine bay I’ve seen that I really like.
I’m pretty sure it’s actually CNC’d from a single billet, I believe it’s made by Toru Kawabata in Tokyo. Nice job!

I was looking on my phone - I guess that's why it looked so neat!
