LS7 crank! i'm suprised, this really hasnt been addressed. i think the 4'' crank is going to make stroked engines- like a 383, alot cheaper! how much would you estimate GM charging for these, and would they fit in an LS1 (i would assume they would). this would really save us alot of money, considering eagle wants upwards of 2k for theirs...
Would they fit, physically...yes.
Would it work... I don't think so. There's a different number of magnetic points on the reluctor wheel. So the LS1 PCM wouldn't be able to keep track of timing.
Unless.......HP Tuners can re-write the PCM to recognize it in the future.

What makes you think they will be cheaper? Most aftermarket parts are cheaper than GM stuff. Look at a crate LS1 motor...you could build a forged big cube monster for the price of a stock crank/piston/rod ls1.

I'd guess the crank won't be to badly priced, somebody just needs to make it work.

wow, i didnt realize how cheap eagle was! i guess i was looking at callies. but still, the stock LS1 crank is obviously plenty strong and is $600 compared to eagles $960 for a stock sized crank.
