pic of my crank LOL

thought i would snap some shots of my crank.

Wow, can't believe it stayed together like that.

12 months, damn he's not a GN secret I guess but quality in this field is essential.

Lonnie has some fast TSM cars and if you're going to ship it anyways it doesn't matter where. Lonnie Diers is in Ohio and can hook up your motor and tranny while it's out.

Yeah, i pm'd jim on lonnies prices he does have a bunch of tsm motors. check his website extremeautomatics

[tta1240]

got some bad news from my engine builder today.the front of the block has a four inch crack in it is that common when the crank lets go?

 

[Blazer406]

It is kinda...... what came first...? the chicken... or the egg?

cracked block could cause the crank to crack....... and vise versa...

That sucks Jim, is your machinist going to find you a block?

 

[scot w.]

That does suck Jim! Let me know if you need me or any others to be on the lookout for a nice block. The spare one I gave you with the car is a 109 block but it's a '85 and they are weaker than the 86-87 blocks.

Jim my buddy here has a spare block sitting in his garage! I think it is .040 over though. Not sure if that will work for you or not.

If not, contact this guy, He is a very reputable guy and has standard bore blocks..>

Jim. Do you still have the car. What machine shop did you use to build the engine. I still run the Manteno cruise nights. You should come back one more time
