At this time 2016-FEB-1 I have a couple of request open with some of the suppliers of aftermarket cranks such as SCAT or Arrow. Some have turned up as negatives already. We'll see what comes from it and what the prices will be. | At this time 2016-FEB-1 I have a couple of request open with some of the suppliers of aftermarket cranks such as SCAT or Arrow.

| + | Cranks are available as cast cranks for as little as 150 $. For a more serious build a forged crank would be nice. Have to figure what OEM cranks are forged. Maybe a marine engine has forged cranks according to a guy in the vicinity who services boats. | ||
| + | Most suppliers would supply a billet crank for this engine from 3'000 to 5'000 $. | ||
| + | The problem is: Then you have a monster crank able to width stand 1'200 hp in a two bolt cap block able to put out 500 at max. | ||
| + | |||
| + | So I'll go either with the factory OEM which should easily width stand 300 hp when properly balanced. | ||
