Specifications
The Nissan VK56 engine is a robust 5.6-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine designed to provide a balance of high torque, reliable performance, and durability in demanding driving conditions. Its 5,552 cc displacement is achieved through a 98 mm bore and 92 mm stroke, while the aluminum block helps reduce overall engine weight and ductile iron cylinder liners provide added cylinder-wall strength and wear resistance. The engine uses aluminum cylinder heads and a dual overhead camshaft (DOHC) 32-valve valvetrain, with four valves per cylinder to promote efficient airflow and combustion.
