Setting aside a special jar for wheelie equiped ride! Woot!! Them austin boy's will tell you how far I'm willing to travel for a good ride.

 

[steveyblack]

how do you go about making a new crank? mill it out of a piece of metal?

 

[Slow66]

Yep...giant piece of round steel, and machine it down....

Just finished reading this thread (I didn’t realize it was so long)
Progress is good.
I just want to see that dam exhaust manifold, it is sexy!!

 

[Slow66]

Yeah, a lot of things have changed during the course of the thread...I wouldn't be surprised if more things change too Always trying to think of how to do it better....

Bryan - Very nice rods! Did they tell you a life span on those? When do you want me to start on your crank?:biglaugh:

They said probably a couple hundred passes, but I'll probably refresh them every season.

When do you feel like starting on my crank?? lol... Think we should at least try offset grinding/re-hardening the stock one, or should we just go billet??:evil2:

 

[catch2nd]

Probably put them in my other supra i just picked up

Details?

 

[Slow66]

Details will be in another thread when i get around to it

Call me Tuesday, we can weigh the options. Gary's stock crank has held 3 years with heavy rods, spinning 9k+ rpm, with stock main caps. Now we added the billet main caps and the girdle to his bottom end. Your aluminum rods would be much easier on the crank.

True, I'm just worried about the hardness after grinding.....

That is bad ass. How many motors can say this? Toyota FTMFW

We can give the ground crank a salt bath after grinding. Bring the surface (.013) up to 40 or 50 rockwell. Beyond that, .013 to .030 it should get to 25 - 30 rockwell.

Only live once bud!
