disassembling rb25 block

[Eevo]

Hi, im trying to disassemble a rb25 block (why? cause i can)

in the picture attached, there are 14 bolts. are they connected to the bearing caps?

and it appears they are all connected by 2 rails on either side.
anyways, ive undone all 14 bolts and i still cant get it out.
any ideas?

Aren't these also crossbolted?? Or am i thinking of toyota jz... if not they will be hard to get out because the caps go deep into the block and typically Nissan have some good machining tolerances..

its not cross bolted. i got it out. i just wasn't using enough leverage.


im going to make a coffee table out of this block. im just not sure what parts to take off and what parts to leave on. :)
