ET rods are a lot thinner and the ET crank is cast not forged, has a 6 bolt flywheel fitting and a smaller front end so no you'll need DET rods and crank

[cortina-mk1]

as said many different internals from a et to a det

det is a much stronger internally

The rods and crank from an ET, would bolt in there, but would make more problems than anything. The first thing I would do is pull the oil pan and the #3 rod bearing as that is the one that goes 90% of the time. There are at least two members on here that I can remember that spun #3 rod bearings, but the Rods and crank cam out OK. With any luck, you can just get the crank slightly ground and use oversized bearings.

Cool 88 Nissan Pulsar NX would the De Rods and Crank work

DE crank should be the same... and you won't need rods man. If you need rods you've got some serious problems!
