Re: Cheap stroker cranks coming! Also stroke Q?

When you say externally balanced, is this by design or can it be balanced with my rods and such to retain internal balancing.

Put me down for a Nodular 4" at least, maybe will do a custom stroke billet instead. Decisions, decisions.... <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />

Re: Cheap stroker cranks coming! Also stroke Q?

Guys,

TanRnchy, done.
TTtop, done.

Ls1290, the Billet cranks will not be offered until next year, more towards the middle of the year. Once available, we would think fairly quick as we will have standard stroke's in stock, such as 4" and 4.25". We will be trial fitting a custom billet crank to one of our own engines, with a 4.375" stroke. More on that one later...

LS171Malibu, the 4" Nodular cranks are externally balanced by design. Will be offering a steel balancer as well. Crank had key way, not a press interference fit like they do now.

Check out new post about the intake manifold happening elsewhere...
Cheers. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Steel rod. Australian made. Not sure if this will work mind you....8,000 RPM limit. It's just a testing shortblock, to push the envelope on these LS1's. No one has done this yet, so we are the guinea pigs...

Ken, Yes your first. Will be shipping them in lots of 25 cranks, so first 25 on the list who want them can buy them. Do NOT want any money until they are in the USA ready to sell (Have been asked that so...) We are bankrolling this ourselves. So it's first in, best dressed on the list!!
Cheers.

Re: Cheap stroker cranks coming! Also stroke Q?

will the external balencer look similar to the stock one??
i need to know cause i'm running an ati blower that runs off the ( uses a seperate pully that sits on the stock one and shares the balancer bolt) pully.
will it ( the balancer) retain the stock distance from the timing chain cover?

I need to know if you will have a balancer that will work with c-5 accessories? The stock F-bod and C-5 are different, FYI. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: Cheap stroker cranks coming! Also stroke Q?

Hey Guys,

The balancer is being made by another company who does them now. Steel unit. Stock in sizing I'm led to believe. Will confirm that.

John (XLR8NSS) has photo's of the prototype Nodular crank that I just sent him. Hopefully he'll post them soon.
Cheers.
