Have you guys determined a price yet for the forged billet cranks? I want the 4.125" stroke one.

Seen the billet stroker crank by chance, my understanding is about the same price as Lunati

These particular cranks are also Ozy produced in a variety of different material qualities, for the cost concerned. Starting with forged, from the finest 4340 non twist design as is mine. Nodular iron will be the cheapest version in the range. All of them are internally balanced by design and take the stock size SBC 2.100" pin size rods.

Projected sizes will range from 4" right through to 4.250" A small production of 10 units is currently underway. Billet rods are also in production and the quality of these units are extremely high. Therefore not cheap, but perhaps a little more cost effective.

Cheers

I was told the cranks would be externally balanced, have ford journals and require a customer external balancer.

Can someone please clear this up?

Hi Guys,

Cranks ARE to be externally balanced, as said before. I won't know USDollar pricing until:
I get final Australian Dollar pricing when they are ready, then how much it will cost us to send them to the States (you guys), with taxes etc.
Will advise when done.
Cheers.
