I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

off subject a little and an inside joke... is that a turbo/rotory/piston thingy.



your best bet is to call both of the companies up and get the answer straight from them. they should have the research on this type of stuff and if they don' just wing it

FJT on e-hatch.com has a similar setup. He would definitely know. I can't even take a guess.

You have to notch the block and the crank girdle for the rods to work. This has to be done with all aftermarket rods on D-series blocks. After that your good to go, plug and play.

I would just assemble the bottom end, rotate the crank, and check the clearance.

Yeah Jude, i found a write up about it on D-series.org. The FJT guy Munster mentioned above posted in the write up as well, he said the only mod. needed would be to notch your block. Here is the write up............
