That's the Maxima Deisel Block right?
I've heard of a few companies using the Deisel block for performance applications, but I can't recall who... I'd like to hear more information as well!
I recall them saying that the motor mounts bolted up fine, but the additional height of the block caused problems with the hood clearance and they needed to cut the hood significantly.
It might be interesting to get one of these blocks and do some measurements to see what piston/rod combinations would work if you had the block resurfaced specifically to meet the deck height of the new combination.
I'll keep an eye on this thread...
