Hi Felipe. Most donor engines won't fit a "book" Locost. You have to decide if you want less oil pan clearance, or a bump in the bonnet. When it's close, like with a Miata engine, most people take their chances with less oil pan clearance.
Although most Locosts don't have the engine sticking up through the bonnet, around three-quarters have at least have a hole in the bonnet for the intake. It's a tight fit no matter what engine you use. If you are familiar with the Nissan engine, or it's available to you cheap, I would say use it.
