if it is totally impossible, there is still possibility of using a l/z block, which could be stronger anyway.

Not only are the rod shells narrower but the locking tab is on the opposite side from the L-Series rod. The rear crank register of the KA motor is different than the L-Series. All of the work done here on the KA engines was done with the OE crank. I do not know of any other crank that will fit in the KA blocks. "

But good luck anyways...you might find something they missed.
