Default Nodular Iron - stroker crank - Australia??

Anyone had experience with these folks at ComeRacing.com???

*******************************************
Do you realise we are in Australia?
We manufacture a nodular cast iron crankshaft in 4.00" stroke to suit
the Chev LS-1 engine.
We also manufacture a matching "I" or "H" beam (both)4340 steel conrods
to suit our crank.
Our crank has Ford 302W rod journal diameter and width. Our conrods are
6" centre to centre length and we are waiting for a custom made cast
alloy piston to suit our combination for steet use (arriving very soon).
We will offer customers a complete crank, rod, cast piston package
including, rings, bearings, new steel/alloy keyed harmonic balancer and
flywheel assembly. Balance is external like a 400ci Small Block Chev,
Ford 302 etc.
You are welcome to buy only the crank and use whichever rod/piston
assembly you prefer. The crank only is $950.00 U.S and is available from
our distributor in the U.S Marvin Miller Manufacturing in Whittier
California.
They do not have stocks yet but will in the next month or so.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have further queries.

robertbartsch, i haven't dealt with these guys personally but i will say that they have a very-very good professional reputation. been in business for quite a while and the only thing i have heard about them that could be considered bad would be their pricing which is not unresonable. but that is from the local cheap-assed aussies. they have been doing chev strokers for at least the 11 years that i have been interested in cars and have a couple of national et class records. they have worked closely with hsv and no doubt holden directly so they are reliable. they could be equated with m.t.i and a.r.e here in the usa for the qualtiy of their work. and no they aren't paying me to say this for them. jmho. 2dr lj.

Camaroguy:
Your prayers have not yet been answered. ...they say they are gearing up to make the cranks....none have been shipped yet....also, they have been saying this same thing for over one year now....

Me? I'll believe it when I see it....


SDPC has a new offering in their cataolog. It is a 4" Callies crank for $1,650! ....the pitch does not indicate whether this crank is nodular iron, forged, or billet....it does mention something about being carved from steel ...so maybe it is forged not iron....
