Not to be a wise man, but you are wrong. There is no bigger "block" in the
D24 series, not even in the LT trucks. Its a very rare crank that makes it possible to reach 2,76litre, and thats with original bore and piston, not oversized stuff. I understand that the block height isnt enough, so probably there is shorter rods made to that crank.

As i wrote earlier the crank was made by some aftermarket firm in germany to stroke D24 in the Lt series, there was Lt trucks with max weight of 5600kg=5,6ton so i understand that the engine had to work hard.
