steel cranks

[ian.stewart]

Just thinking about something at the mo, What strokes are available in steel crankshafts for the RV8 and what capacities do they yeild with 94mm bore.

[Coops]

is this regarding what we talked about on the phone at ford fair mate?

Forged cranks are quite expensive for RV8. V8tuner quote £2600+. I think Wildcat would be the guys to talk to about this, Their brochure says they can make steel cranks up to 92mm. I know a guy who's selling a brand new 4.2 (iceberg) crank, I can see if he's still got it if you want. The same fella is selling one of the nicest pair of Buick 300 ally heads i've seen for only £200 i think. Those 4.2 cranks come nitrided and x-drilled from the factory, I know this because i've got a new one lurking somewhere too.

Yes Tony,
The only reason I ask, I need to check a crank for someone, the measurment is not a problem, I just need to know what displacement certain strokes will yeild
If it turns out to be a standard 3.5/9 stroke its not worth the effort.
Its got to be 4.5 or more. to be worth the effot

I think the wildcat crank is about £1200 and with 96mm pistons gives a 5.2 litre ..
