Nissan Rod Dimentions

[Matthew Abate]

I made this table back when we were thinking about using a diesel crank in my 280z block and thought I would throw it up on the forum in case anyone wanted the information. It doesn't tell you anything that you can't find through reading all of the threads on which rods are best for which combinations of parts, but it was helpful in understanding what the overall options are when it comes to finding rods from different Nissan engines to make funky changes. The color coding was to help me figure out what clustered together. Given that you can get whatever piston dimensions you want these days, you can do a lot with this. We went with the non-standard-but-common L28 block + crank paired with L24 Rods and custom pistons.

One thing I just noticed is I din't include the LD28 info, so maybe someone can add that to the thread.
