Don't know if this is the right forum for this, but here goes anyway.
I came across an internet article describing how to modify a DATSUN L18 crank for use in a Ford Crossflow. It seems to be a New Zealand doing.
The advantages are apparently that the crank is made of a high grade cast steel, not cast iron and is therefore stronger than a standard crossflow crank and cheaper to do than to buy a forged steel crank.
If you use L16 rods which are close to 5.23" one could build a long rod motor considerably cheaper than using aftermarket parts.
The question is, can the Datsun crank and rods handle 10 000 RPM.
Any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated.
