Heat management issue? Like not having room left for a radiator? I can't see
this working AT ALL. The Nissan L-6 is a big motor. much bigger than many other
straight sixes. It's been the lament of many a Triumph TR6 owner that they
can't shoe-horn the Nissan L-6 under their bonnets. In a Roadster? Could you
see over the top of the valve cover? half the motor would be forward of the
front axles.
