Anybody heard of using the new L8T crank in our LS based engines an coming up with 400 cubes??
The reason I ask is there is a guy with them for 500 bucks each said there a much stronger crank.

SDPC has them listed @ $660 vs $880 @ mast.
There's no Way anyone should pay $900 bucks 4 a factory CCW crank...at that cost add a few Coins and you've got yourself a aftermarket CCW with 4 inches included...

So I guess the cranks reluctor or sealing surfaces are the same as our LS based engine? An with that being said why wouldn’t a Z06 LT4 crank work? I’m sure it’s a forged piece right?

My favorite...
math time
Cost of Custom Pistons Vs on the shelf?
Cost of the lt8 crank vs a Aftermarket Crank?
Difference of?
@ $500 to $600 as a base isn't really bad..
But 4.0 inch Pistons go for anywhere from $600 to $900
Customs Pistons start @ $1000.oo
Seems like a wash as they seem similar in cost with the crank @ 500 bucks...

I agree 100%, it is a good deal, especially with the bearings, but 4340 forged 4” cranks can be bought for under $700 before tax from a vendor here and are in stock.

I wish I paid 10%. At one point with our old manager, employees paid 30%. Now new owners and new manager, it's 15%. But still better than any vendors prices. And I have my own bay to work on my own cars on weekends. I work in parts and I'm a tech due to being shorthanded people.
